The MaxPreps All-America Team has recognized the top high
school basketball players in the country each year since 2006. Past
selections include Tina Charles, Elena Delle Donne, Maya Moore, Nneka
Ogwumike, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson, who all went on to win the
WNBA's Most Valuable Player award.
Selections are based on team
success, individual production and local, regional and state honors from
the recently-completed season. Potential at the college and
