The next set of teams for the 45th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state boys basketball teams are to honor the top players according to the same six divisions in which this year’s CIF state championships were contested. It continues to be very difficult to determine which division for some players (thanks to competitive equity seedings for playoffs), but we’re not going to stop trying our best to be as fair to as many players as possible.
Note: We hope you enjoy this free post on CalHiSports.com. Updated class-by-class player rankings by managing editor Ronnie Flores for Gold Club members were completed in late February.

D5 STATE PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Evan Lucas (Athenian, Danville)
*Note: The division placement of schools (and players from those schools for all-state) is based on the same divisions that teams were placed for the CIF regional playoffs. Section playoff placement also was used for teams that were not in the regionals. We also looked at each team and the team it lost to in the playoffs and followed the line of teams to CIF regionals. In some cases, it also was an estimation of which divisions those teams would be in. Sorry, but we cannot go through every nominated player and determine a separate divisional placement based on traditional factors such as enrollment. Well more than a third of the players already have to have divisional placement figured out even going by the CIF regional divisions.
