Maybe a couple of more due to injuries on that list which has players who really could not play that much this year.

These are the nominees. There are no Tennesseans in the 24 finalists

that will play the game. One young lady from TX that is to play is signed with

Tennessee, Meighan Simmons, Byron P Steele II High School, Cibolo, TX; 5' 9"

guard.

 

Joe Jackson from White Station in Memphis made the boys team.

FL, so Tennesseans might know, how is that done?

Summary of Selection Process:

Initial list is gathered by Sports America, Inc. from Selection Committee and

state representatives. Traditionally, the final total is between 900 and 1,200

for girls. Player's high school is contacted to confirm eligible senior in good

academic standing.

 

Voting process involves Selection Committee, comprised of the nation's most

knowledgeable high school analysts, prep scouts, high school newspaper

reporters and prestigious basketball coaches. The Selection Committee is

chaired by Coach Morgan Wootten of DeMatha High School in Hyattsville,

Maryland. Coach Wootten has over 1,200 career victories and has won five

national high school championships.

 

Round One - The first list is compiled by the staff of Sports America, Inc. at the end

of December and sent to Selection Committee for review. List usually grows to

nearly 150 names of the top players in the country.

 

Round Two - The second ballot, with those 150 or so names, is sent to the Selection

Committee in January, asking members to vote for the 50 most deserving players

from the alphabetized list . In mid-January, the votes are tallied and the Top 100

vote getters are considered McDonald’s All American Finalists for that year.

 

Round Three - The third ballot consists of the top 50 finalists from the previous

vote and is sent to the Selection Committee near the end of January. Once

again, the committee reviews the ballot and this time they vote on the top 30

players.

 

Round Four - 23 Committee members select the final individuals to play in the

game. On or around Feb. 15, Chairman Morgan Wooten reviews and approves

names chosen by the Selection Committee and notifies each player that she has

been named to the McDonald’s All American High School Basketball Team and

selected to play in the McDonald’s All American Game.

Unfortunately I no longer have the ability to edit or delete a post after it's

submitted. Can't figure out why??

 

I don't know when the process begins. Think it is on going. From their document

it states: "Many rising seniors make this list based on an excellent junior year or

for having an outstanding summer participating in summer camps and AAU

tournaments." Sports America, Inc. probably begins working on the list for the

next year at the end of the All American Game in order to provide the list to the

committee by the end of December.

 

Candace Parker is on the Advisory Council.
