2018 All-Academic Boys Basketball Team (4A-6A)

Based on the nominations from coaches and members of the Arizona high school football community, Sports360AZ introduces the 2017 Arizona All-Academic Boys Basketball  Team for the 4A-6A Divisions spotlighting the best the state has to offer both on the basketball court as well as in the classroom.

A few notes on how the team was compiled:

Sports360AZ reached out to every AIA high school basketball coach and athletic director in the state requesting nominations  based on performance in the classroom. We also opened up nominations to parents and players as well. This is the only way to be named to the all-academic team. After hundreds of nominations for the winter sports teams, we are excited to present the All-Academic Boys Basketball Team (4A-6A)!
