          Players from Lamar County to Upson-Lee to Dooly County to Macon County and everywhere in between were named to one, two, or three all-state basketball teams.
          The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia Athletic Coaches Association, and Sandy’s Spiel named all-state teams, as did the GISA, with Upson-Lee’s Travon Walker, Dodge County’s Destanee Wright, and Wilkinson County’s Jalen Lamar earning respective player of the year honors.
          In Sandy’s Spiel teams, players were given certain specific skill awards. Central Georgians earned such distinction in their specific classes:
          Girls: Kaliyah Little, Northside, most improved; Ja’Kerra Wilbur, West Laurens, best passer; Peach County’s Da’Nasia Shaw, best shot blocker; Rutland’s Bre’Asia Davis, most underrated.
          Boys: Walker, best rebounder; Bleckley County’s Nykeem Farrow, most improved; Stratford’s Devin Butts, best shooter; Lamar, best shooter; Dooly County’s Zeff Felton, best rebounder.
          Links to each team are provided.
