See the 36 DFW-area basketball players nominated to be 2021 McDonald’s All-Americans
For the past 43 years, the McDonald’s All-American games bring the best girls and boys high school basketball players from across the country.
However, the games have not been held since 2019, and that’s something that won’t be changing given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s celebration will be held virtually to help honor the finalists, which will be named later in February. But on Thursday, McDonald’s did announce that Texas led all states with 87 nominations. Also shared were the names of the players from the region who have been nominated to make the final roster.
Dallas-Fort Worth area has 36 girls and boys nominated, including Arlington Martin’s Mariah Roberts (TCU signee), Waxahahcie’s CJ Noland (Oklahoma) and Dallas St. Mark’s Harrison Ingram (Stanford).
