2020-21 UIL All-Parker County Boys Basketball Team

Meet your 2020-21 UIL All-Parker County Boys Basketball Team Below is a list of superlative awards as well as a first-team and second-team rosters comprised of players from all seven Parker County UIL high school boys’ baseball teams. The UIL All-Parker County Team includes input from coaches, all-district lists, statistics and Weatherford Democrat employees. MVP Nathan Jones, junior post, Brock Of the local UIL teams, Brock went deepest into the postseason, reaching the state semifinals. Jones was the workhorse for the Eagles, dominating the boards most nights while averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds in District 8-3A. He shot 65% from the field and 76% on free throws to earn District MVP and All-Region honors. Offensive Player of the Year Braxton Bosher, junior shooting guard, Peaster Bosher’s 22 points a game is tough to beat. So is his aim — he shot 43% from three-point range and 89% on free throws, and he did it while opposing teams tried to shut him down. He didn’t always shoot first, either, averaging three assists a game. Defensive Player of the Year Beau Morrison, senior, Weatherford A fiery playmaker and defensive hawk, Morrison relied on high RPMs and relentless drive to average 10 points and six rebounds while creating havoc for opposing shooters. Utility Player of the Year Daniel Sohn, junior guard, Aledo This lanky guard stands 6 feet 6 inches and can rebound, obviously, but he also steals, passes, dribbles behind his back, drives for layups, shoots from the perimeter and ball hawks up and down the court. Sohn averaged 17 points a game in District 5-5A, where he was named Offensive Player of the Year. Newcomer of the Year Kane Chandler, freshman guard, Weatherford Starting on a varsity team as a freshman is hard to do anywhere but particularly in 6A competition. Chandler didn’t just start, he excelled many nights, displaying glimpses of a special player that could be firing up Kangaroo fans through 2024. This season, he averaged 11 points and three assists. Sixth Player of the Year Tie: Tramar Gilbert, sophomore forward, Peaster Liam Kelly, senior forward, Brock Both young men made big impacts every time they set sneakers on the court, playing hard-nosed offense and defense and doing things that don’t show up in the statistics but change the course of games. Their stats are almost identical, with each player averaging eight points, six rebounds and two assists a game. Both were named first-team All District. Coach of the Year Steven Stegall, Poolville The Monarchs lost three starters from the previous season who were contributing about 60 points and 30 rebounds a game between them. Poolville’s young team doesn’t have any particularly tall, speedy or freakishly agile members, and few people expected them to finish higher than fourth or fifth in a tough 2A district. The Monarchs finished as bi-district champs and lost to Cisco on a last-second shot in the playoffs. Below is a roster comprised of players from the county’s UIL teams in random rather than ascending or descending order. Players winning superlative categories are not included in the following first-team roster or honorable mentions. First-team Braden Carter, senior, Weatherford — This serious-minded forward could do it all and did, averaging 16 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Tyson Smith, senior, Weatherford — Quick and fearless, Smith would dribble into the jaws of death if it would help the Roos win. Landry Simmons, senior, Aledo — District 5-5A’s Newcomer of the Year averaged 14 points a game. Ty McCall, senior, Brock — Averaged 14 points and four assists a game while earning first-team All-Region.

Liam Kelly, senior, Brock — Another all-around player from the talented Eagles squad. Nathan Sykes, senior, Millsap — Sykes has started at point guard since his sophomore season.
