All-State selection process
All-State and All-Class teams are selected by The Wichita Eagle with the help of basketball coaches across Kansas.
Each school’s athletic director is e-mailed a ballot to have their coaches return to The Eagle by the end of the season. Coaches may nominate their own players and players from other teams.
The boys teams were selected by Taylor Eldridge and Joanna Chadwick. The girls teams were selected by Chadwick. They tabulated nominations from the ballots and got additional input from coaches and other media members.
All-State and All-Class basketball teams are not selected by position.
