Fifteen seniors and 15 underclass boys’ basketball players have earned IBCA/Franciscan Health “Supreme 15” All-State honors for 2024-25, it was announced Wednesday (March 26). The IBCA also named Large School All-State teams (15 seniors, 15 underclass) and Small School All-State teams (15 seniors, 15 underclass).
The “Supreme 15” is the top honor awarded, and players were voted to that group without regard to school size. The Large School and Small School all-state teams are secondary accolades — the Large School group including players from Class 3A and Class 4A schools and the Small School group including players from Class A and Class 2A schools. Players who make the Supreme 15 are not considered for Large School or Small School honors.
In addition, 94 more seniors and 93 more underclass players were selected honorable mention all-state. The honorable mention laurels are awarded without regard to school size. In total, 277 players — 139 seniors and 138 underclass players — were recognized on the 2025 IBCA boys’ basketball All-State teams. In total, 670 players were nominated (271 seniors, 399 underclass) from 316 schools.

I find the comment that the Supreme 15 is voted on without regard to school size? There are no 2a or 1a players on that list. In fact 10 of the 15 are from 4a schools.
Pickett is technically 1A but only playing in 3A due to success factor.
