CLAY — The Clay-Chalkville basketball program has landed two players on the 2015 Alabama Sports Writers Association Class 6A All-State team.
Representing the Lady Cougars as a first-team All-State selection is senior point guard Kristian Hudson. Boys’ point guard Hasan Abdullah was selected to the Class 6A second team.
Both players reported to Montgomery last Wednesday to represent their state in the 25th annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game, but Abdullah sustained an injury that prevented him from playing in the boys’ game Friday.
The Class 6A girls’ All-State first team is made up of Hudson, Dothan guard Shatoria Jackson, Leflore forward Japonica James, Blount guard Cierra Johnson and Austin guard Tyra Johnson. Their coach of the year is Homewood’s JoVanka Ward.
Joining Abdullah on the boys’ second team is Homewood guard Malik Cook-Stroupe, Bessemer City guard Micah Fuller, Athens forward Trey Potts and Woodlawn guard Javien Williams. Cullman’s Bobby Meyer was voted the Class 6A boys’ coach of the year.
