Published 5:00 am Sunday, March 20, 2022
Good Hope’s Ivey Maddox collected first-team accolades in Class 4A when the Alabama Sports Writers Association announced its 2021-22 All-State girls basketball teams on Sunday.
Maddox, a second-teamer in 2020-21, helped guide the Lady Raiders to a 30-5 record this season.
Cullman’s Jaden Winfrey, meanwhile, secured a third-team spot in 6A, while Good Hope’s Bailey Tetro was an honorable mention in 4A.
The All-State basketball teams are decided by the ASWA’s prep committee, which chooses from a list of talented athletes spanning seven classifications across the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA). The Alabama Independent School Association (AISA) is also part of the annual selection process.
Player of the Year finalists will be released on Tuesday.
