We’re putting a bow on the high school basketball season with some all-area team selections.
Over the last three days we released the selections for our large class boys, large class girls teams and small class boys teams. Now it’s time to officially wrap things up with the small class girls teams.
The 615 Preps large class coverage area includes teams in Division II-A as well as Classes 2A and 1A.
Players selected to these teams are selected based on their season-long stats and nominations from their head coaches. Here’s a look at those selected to the second ever 615 Preps small class teams:
