DREAM TEAM

Andrew Dillon (sr., F), Lincoln: A unanimous choice by Southeastern Conference White Division coaches as the league’s top player, the 6-foot-3 Dillon averaged 13 points and nine rebounds for the Railsplitters. Lincoln finished 13-9 and won its second straight district title. “Without him, we would not have had the success we’ve had for the past two years,” Lincoln coach Mike Foley said.

Conner Heine (sr., F), Ypsilanti: Heine relinquished some of the Phoenix scoring load as younger players developed around him throughout the year, which coach Steve Brooks said was just another team-leader quality from the three-year varsity starter. Heine averaged 12.8 points and 9.0 rebounds for an Ypsilanti team that finished 16-5 and won the SEC White. Heine was named first-team All-SEC White.

Maurice Jordan (sr., F), Willow Run: A threat to post a triple-double each time he stepped on the court, the 6-foot-3 Jordan averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks for the 13-9 Flyers. Coach George Woods said those team-best statistical accomplishments were directly correlated to Jordan’s exceptional effort and a high basketball IQ that always seemed to have him in the right position on the court.

A.J. Mathew (jr., G), Huron: A three-year starting point guard, Mathew directed the River Rats to a 23-5 record and a spot in the Class A state championship game. He led the team in scoring (14.8 points) and assists (4.2) and was second in rebounds (5.2) and steals (3.1). Named first-team All-SEC Red, honorable mention Class A all-state and the AnnArbor.com Player of the Year.

Dante Williams (jr., G), Huron: The second-leading scorer for the state finalist River Rats at 12.7 points per game, the 6-foot-6 off-guard had a huge final four weekend at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. He scored team-high 19 points in a semifinal win over Southfield and 24 in the title game loss to Kalamazoo Central. Also averaged 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks. An All-SEC Red first-team selection.

CLASS A FIRST TEAM Jalen Bouma (sr., G), Huron: Averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals for the River Rats. A first-team All-SEC Red selection.

Jamie Henry (sr., G), Pioneer: The senior team leader made contributions all over the floor (7.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.2 steals). First-team All-SEC Red.

Dave LaMore (jr., C), Dexter: The 6-foot-8 junior averaged 11 points and six rebounds for the 15-8 Dreadnaughts. A first-team All-SEC White honoree.

Jevonte McGuire (sr. G), Ypsilanti: A first-team All-SEC White selection, McGuire averaged 10.8 points and hit a buzzer-beating game-winner against Dexter.

KeAndre Taylor (sr., F), Lincoln: Averaged a team-high 14 points, including four nights of 25 points or better. Named All-SEC White honorable mention.

CLASS A COACH OF THE YEAR: Waleed Samaha, Huron

CLASS B-C-D FIRST TEAM Jamaar Bonner (sr., G), Willow Run: Averaged 14.2 points, 3.6 steals and 3.3 assists and was one of the top defensive players for the Flyers.

Josh Herbeck (sr., G), Father Gabriel Richard: The West Point-bound sharpshooter averaged 14.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals. Named All-CHSL for the third straight year.

Matt Jenkins (sr., F), Father Gabriel Richard: Averaged 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the 12-8 Fighting Irish. Will play at Madonna University.

C.J. Luvene (sr., G), Milan: Averaged 12.3 points and made the regional-qualifying Big Reds go with 4.1 steals, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists. Second-team All-Huron League.
