All-District Team Loaded with Upperman, Livingston Academy, York Institute Players
Sophomore Matthew Sells captured 8-AA Player of the Year. His coach Jimmy Miller earned Coach of the Year. Livingston Academy overtook York Institute on the season’s final day with a head-to-head win. Two-thirds of the 8-AA First Team is comprised of LA or York players. Upperman’s two starters, Alex Rush and Collin Gore, earned the other two spots.
Sells, Rush, Gore, and Second Team member Isaiah Allen all competed at the PrepHoopsTN Fall Combine. We are elated to see such production from players full of such promise.
