69 players selected IBCA first-team Academic All-State
35 boys, 34 girls receive top honor; 319 additional players cited as Honorable Mention
Sixty-nine Indiana high school seniors -- 35 boys and 34 girls -- have been chosen as first-team
Academic All-State by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association, it was announced Wednesday (April
8).
In addition, 180 more boys and 139 more girls were recognized as honorable mention Academic AllState for 2015, IBCA executive director Steve Witty said.
The IBCA Academic All-State team is a program where academic prowess and athletic prowess both
are considered in the selections. Items such as grade-point average, college board scores and academic
class rank are considered along with athletic performance in areas such as points per game, rebounds
per game, assists per game and shooting percentage.
"The quality of these student-athletes shows that success in academics and success in athletics are
not separate entities," Witty said. "Rather, in many cases, a player's success in the classroom directly
contributes to his or her success on the floor."
IBCA-member head coaches from schools across the state may nominate their seniors who meet
criteria that include a 3.5 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale, a class rank in the upper 25 percent of one's
class, an SAT score of 1,500 or an ACT score of 23.
Once nominations are received, an IBCA committee reviews the information and determines
awards for first team and honorable mention.
Those selected will receive certificates from the IBCA for their honor. Those certificates will be
distributed to coaches at the IBCA Spring Clinic on April 24-25 in Indianapolis. The coaches then present
the certificates to the honored players after they return from the clinic.
The IBCA has selected an Academic All-State team for boys since 1973. The program was expanded
to include a girls' Academic All-State team in 1980.
Players honored for 2015 are listed please see the attached file.
