Arizona 5A All-State Team
The 5A season was exciting with a number of players stepping up en route to earning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team 5A All-State honors. To most people’s expectations Sunnyslope and Apollo seemed to be vying for the #1 spot for the majority of the season. Despite them meeting many’s projected outcomes, they both left a performance that no one is soon to forget in the state title game. Without further adieu, here is the 5A All-State honorees.
5A All-State MVP
Holland Woods 5’11 PG 2017 Apollo – Holland Woods, despite not winning the state championship, had a season to remember. The stud guard was one of the lead candidates in scoring as well as assists. His ability to score the basketball in an array of ways makes him a handful. Add to it, he is an unbelievable passer who does a great job of finding teammates after creating help situations. Woods had an outside career alongside backcourt teammate Dre Marin. However, this won’t be the last we hear about these two highly talented teammates.
