Corner forward Jason Manning secures a rebound against Mortimer Jordan. 

Three local standouts have been selected to the 2019 Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State Basketball team, which was announced on Saturday night.

The Class 6A boys championship game MVP, a Wallace State Community College women’s basketball signee and a 6-6 senior are among the best in the state, according to the ASWA prep committee.

Pinson Valley junior Kameron Woods made the move from Midfield to PVHS this year alongside head coach Darrell Barber. Those acquisitions resulted in the school’s first state basketball championship.

Following a 24-9 season that was punctuated by a 58-44 win over Carver-Montgomery in the Class 6A state championship game, Barber has been voted the 6A coach of the year and Woods, a 6-foot guard, has been named first-team all-state.

The junior scored 25 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter alone, to knock off defending state champion Carver-Montgomery on Mar. 2 in Legacy Arena. Woods also scored 13 points against Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa in the state semifinals after scoring a total of 57 points in two Northeast Regional games in Jacksonville.

As a head coach, Barber now has state championship trophies in three different classifications (3A, 4A, 6A). He also cradled the blue map in 2012, 2014 and 2017 while coaching the Midfield Patriots.

In the Class 5A ranks, 6-foot-6 senior Jason Manning represents Corner High School as a third-team all-state recipient. Manning and the Yellow Jackets closed out the season with a 48-44 overtime loss at Mortimer Jordan in the semifinals of the Area 11 tournament.

Manning, a power forward, poured in 17 points from the paint to lead all scorers that night in Kimberly. Corner finished the year with an overall record of 15-15.

Fellow Yellow Jacket Jiselle Woodson, a slashing point guard on the girls team, has been named an all-state honorable mention in 5A. Woodson transferred in to play her junior and senior seasons at Corner.

As a senior, she scored 464 points, secured 161 rebounds, passed out 123 assists and grabbed 174 steals for the Yellow Jackets. She made more than 41 percent of her 2-point attempts and sank 106 free throws for head coach Jeff Smith.

According to Smith, Corner’s win total nearly doubled in the two years Woodson ran the point compared to the two years prior.
