Tennessee natives Jaloni Cambridge, Imari Berry named McDonald's All-Americans

Two high school basketball players with Tennessee ties have been selected to the McDonald's All-American girls basketball roster.

Former Ensworth star Jaloni Cambridge and Clarksville High senior Imari Berry were among 24 players selected to participate in the McDonald's All-American game April 2 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Both players will play for the West team.

Cambridge, a 5-foot-6 guard committed to Ohio State, is ranked by ESPN as the No. 3 overall 2024 recruit. She averaged 26.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.3 steals and 3.8 assists for DII-AA state runner-up Ensworth last season, scoring 41 points in the state title game. She led the Lady Tigers to the state title in 2022.

Cambridge transferred in the offseason to Montverde Academy (Florida) to play for former Webb School - Bell Buckle coach Matt Shewmake, who led Webb to three consecutive DII-A state titles before leaving. Cambridge is averaging a team-high 20.9 points and 8.6 assists for Montverde this season, to go with 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 1.2 blocks.

Cambridge was Tennessee's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2023 and won DII-AA Miss Basketball three times. She was also named one of 10 semifinalists for the Naismith Girls Basketball National Player of the Year and was the 2022 MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year.

Berry has replaced Cambridge as the state's top recruit this season.

The five-star guard and Clemson commitment is the No. 13 player in the Class of 2024, according to ESPN. She's averaging 25.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 4.2 steals for the unbeaten Lady Wildcats (17-0) this year.

Berry led Clarksville to the state tournament for the first time since 2017 last year and was a Class 4A Miss Basketball finalist.

She's Clarksville's second McDonald's All-American, joining Bashaara Graves (2012).

The 2024 McDonald's All American girls game will air on ESPN2 at 5:30 p.m. on April 2 with the boys game following at 8 p.m.
