Here are The News Tribune's all-state boys and girls basketball teams.
BOYS
PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Abdul Gaddy, PG, 6-3, Sr., Bellarmine Prep
What more can we say about Gaddy? The two-time TNT All-Area Player of the Year is as pure a point guard as you’ll find. A smooth passer with an eye for the open teammate, Gaddy can also score in bunches. Before he reports to the University of Washington, Gaddy will play in the McDonald’s All-American game and the Nike Hoops Summit.
COACH OF THE YEAR
Jason Kerr, Franklin
Molded the Quakers into an unselfish, 3A state championship-winning bunch
FIRST TEAM
Steven Bjornstad, C, 6-10, Sr., Columbia River
Nevada-bound big man led his school to its first state final
Anthony Brown, W, 6-5, Sr., Shadle Park
Athletic shooter takes his big-time talent to Washington State
Peyton Siva, PG, 6-1, Sr., Franklin
McDonald’s All-American won 3A title; will play at Louisville
Joshua Smith, F, 6-9, Jr., Kentwood
The SPSL North MVP has his choice of colleges to attend
Tony Wroten, G, 6-5, Soph., Garfield
Super-talented 15-year-old led the Bulldogs to the 4A finals
SECOND TEAM
Gary Bell, G, 6-1, Soph., Kentridge

John Gage, C, 6-10, Jr., Vashon
Joe Harris, G, 6-5, Jr., Chelan
Marcus Tibbs, G, 6-1, Sr., Decatur
(You don't know who Joe Harris is? Gonzaga, Washington, Washington State and other schools do. The point guard with a 6-foot-5 frame is drawing college coaches to the summer vacation town in the dead of winter. Harris averaged 24.7 ppg, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks and hit 41 percent of his 3-point attempts.)
GIRLS
PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Lindsey Moore, G, 5-10, Sr., Kentwood
The Gatorade State Player of the Year is a complete player. Capable of averaging 30 points per game, she unselfishly looked for teammates. The result was a 28-1 season and the Class 4A state championship this season. The two-time SPSL North MVP will play at the University of Nebraska.
