All-State boys basketball teams coming this week

All-State boys basketball teams for each of the six classifications, along with a seventh team for players from non-PIAA schools, will be announced this week, one each day.

Classification	Release date
Non-PIAA	Monday, May 2
Class 1A	Tuesday, May 3
Class 2A	Wednesday, May 4
Class 3A	Thursday, May 5
Class 4A	Friday, May 6
Class 5A	Saturday, May 7
Class 6A	Sunday, May 8

The Non-PIAA team, for players who attend independent schools not affiliated with the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, will be announced Monday.

The Class 1A team will be announced Tuesday, followed in subsequent days by the Class 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A teams.

The teams were selected by a statewide panel of media members, who nominated the top players from their area and voted on each of the teams.

Each classification includes a first, second and third team, as well as a Player of the Year and a Coach of the Year.

Last year, five Berks players earned All-State honors, including three on the Class 6A first team: Wilson’s Stevie Mitchell and Ruben Rodriguez and Moro Osumanu of Reading High, which was coming off a state championship.

Reading’s Daniel Alcantara made the Class 6A third team; Antietam’s Hector Tiburcio made the 2A third team.

Reading’s Rick Perez was Coach of the Year in Class 6A.

Mitchell was a two-time All-State pick who’s now playing at Marquette. Osumanu is playing at West Chester. Rodriguez, Alcantara and Tiburcio were all underclassmen last year.
