Joining McClain and Freeman from Suwannee County is Branford point guard Colton Leibold. Leibold played all 24 games for the Buccaneers and averaged 15 points per contest. He scored a career-high 26 points against Trenton on Jan. 21. He shot seven free throws per game and made 93 out of 166 attempts (56 percent) from the line.

For Hamilton County, 6-foot-5 junior center Jhebari Martin led the way with 16 points and nine rebounds per game. The big man also stepped outside and showed good touch, making 27 3-pointers in 21 games played.

The other non-senior to earn first-team honors is Hamilton County guard DeNandre Johnson. The junior averaged 12 points and six rebounds per game while leading the Trojans in 3-pointers made. Johnson shot 29 percent from distance, making 43 out of 147 attempts.

Taylor averaged nine points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal. Jones contributed six points, four rebounds and two steals.
