Girls basketball: AP Class 3A and Class 4A All-State teams
Here are the Illinois Associated Press Class 3A and Class 4A All-State girls basketball teams as voted on by a statewide panel of sports writers and broadcasters and compiled by Steve Tappa, formerly of the Moline Dispatch and the Rock Island Argus. Players received five points for a first-team vote and three points for a second-team vote. Each voter picked a five-player first team and five-player second team in each class. A player must have been named on two ballots to receive honorable mention. All media members in the state were eligible to nominate and vote for players. Nobody earned unanimous selection in either class. There were 19 voters in each class. *-Note: There were voting ties for the final spots on the first team for both 3A and 4A, and also the final spot on the 4A second team.
