Naismith Trophy announces All-American boys and girls basketball selections
On Wednesday, the Naismith Trophy unveiled its All America teams for boys and girls high school basketball.
The coveted award is annually given to the top players in both college and high school basketball.
The Naismith Trophy Boys’ High School Player of the Year and Girls’ High School Player of the Year awards were created in 1987. The college award was first handed out in 1969 to Lew Alcindor (who later changed his name to Kareem Abdul Jabbar).
The women’s college award was established in 1983. Its first recipient was Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan.
In addition to the college award, the Naismith Trophy also has a high school award. And they also create an annual All America team as well, that is sponsored by Jersey Mike’s.
