Several local players earned recognition.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association has announced their 2024-25 Boys Basketball All-State Teams. 

Fifteen seniors and 15 underclass boys' basketball players have earned "Supreme 15" All-State honors. The IBCA also named Large School All-State teams and Small School All-State teams. 

The "Supreme 15" is the top honor awarded, and players were voted to that group without regard to school size. The Large School and Small School all-state teams are secondary accolades -- the Large School group including players from Class 3A and Class 4A schools and the Small School group including players from Class A and Class 2A schools. Players who make the Supreme 15 are not considered for Large School or Small School honors.
