The fourth-annual HighSchoolOT girls basketball all-state team features 28 athletes making an appearance on the team for the second, third or fourth time, led by two players who became our first four-time all-state honorees.

North Pitt's Zamareya Jones (NCBCA POTY) and Grace Christian of Sanford's Sarah Strong (Gatorade POTY) made the team each year of the high school careers.

There is a first, second, and third team with 15 players each followed by an Honorable Mention list of 30 players. Reclassified fifth-year seniors are the only players in scholastic-based associations that are not eligible.
