Published March 15, 2010
Four DeKalb County players were repeat selections to the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s all-state high school basketball team for the 2009-10 season.
The team was unveiled Sunday.
Three of the repeaters were girls.
Geraldine point guard Kristen White was selected first team in Class 2A for the second straight year, while Fort Payne guard Alicia Williams in 5A and Crossville swingman Emily Peek in 3A earned second-team nods after doing the same in 2008-09.
The fourth repeat selection was Fyffe forward Jesse Martin, who was an honorable-mention selection in 2A boys for the second straight year.
Ider center Kayla Beaty earned a second-team nod in 2A girls. Sylvania guard Donavan Dalton and Crossville forward Justin Mayo both were honorable mention picks for 3A boys.
Three Jackson County players also earned all-state recognition.
North Sand Mountain swingman Chelsea Ellison was a second-team pick in 2A girls.
Section forward Clint Ryan was a first-team selection in 2A boys, while teammate Chance McCarver, a guard, received an honorable-mention nod.
The all-state recognition was just the latest honor for White, who was previously selected Area 12 MVP and DeKalb County MVP by coaches in the county school system. She was also a member of the Sand Mountain Super Six.
