VISAA Senior All State Team
At Vantage, we try to do some things differently so our readers can see things from different perspectives. With the high school season over and AAU right around the corner, we thought it would be a good time to release our All State teams. While there are VHSL and VISAA All State teams already released, we decided to do things differently by splitting up our All State teams by class instead of classification.
Below is our choices at Vantage Hoops for the VISAA Senior All State team. It includes names from every classification D1-3 and were chosen through research and debate by the Vantage team. We have divided them up into First through Third Team, with 10 players in each.
Enjoy, and let the debate begin!
First Team
MVP: Zach Jacobs | Trinity Episcopal
Jacobs was the leader of a three headed monster that led Trinity to their second ever state championship, and he saved his best for last. In the D1 Championship against WCAC power Paul VI, the JMU commit went for 38 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 14-for-17 from the field. His big time performance capped a storybook season for the Titans who finished 35-1, with their only loss coming on the road to VHSL 5A State Champion LC Bird.
