Cold Springs’ Ella Dickerson, Good Hope’s Ivey Maddox and Good Hope’s Ava McSwain reeled in first-team honors when the Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) released this year’s All-State basketball teams on Saturday.

The talented trio spearheaded a terrific group of local standouts that caught the attention of those across the state.

The All-State basketball teams are handpicked by the ASWA’s prep committee, which chooses from a list of deserving — and nominated — athletes spanning seven classifications across the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA). 

The Alabama Independent School Association (AISA) is also included in the annual selection process.

Player of the Year finalists from each classification will be announced this Wednesday.

See below for full capsules on each local player spotlighted by the ASWA — as well as complete All-State teams from each classification.
