The Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) recently made its annual selections regarding the state’s top players and below are their selections in Class 1A for the 1st and 2nd Teams along with honorable mentions.
Lafayette Christian 2018 PG Greg Williams was chosen as the Most Outstanding Player in the Class after leading the Knights to a 29-5 record, which includes a 53-43 win over Southern Lab in the Division IV state championship. Lafayette Christian was also head and shoulders above their competition in district play with a 14-0 record, which contributed to Williams’ relatively low points per game average (14.0) as the Knights routinely nursed big leads.
Williams was joined on the first team by Devion Dunbar, Lamonte Bass, Tylan Dean and Ja’Tyre Carter, and below are the links to the LSWA All-State selections for Classes 5A-2A. Classes B and C will be released on Sunday with Mr. Basketball.
