Cooper — The Times 2020-21 Boys Basketball Player of the Year — put up per-game norms of 23.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals for the Interstate Eight champion Pirates.

Weber earned Class 3A Special Mention after a season which saw the L-P senior and NewsTribune 2021 Boys Basketball Player of the Year put up 22.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.7 assists per outing for the Cavaliers.

A trio of Class 1A players from the extended area — Dwight’s Brandon Ceylor and the Indian Creek duo of Drew Gaston and Cameron Russell — also earned spots on the IBCA 1A All-State Team.
