CUBA CITY — The WBCA is very pleased to announce the 2023 Basketball Academic All-State Award to the outstanding individuals that attain a high level of success in the classroom.
The WBCA, in a continued quest to recognize the outstanding work of the student-athletes around Wisconsin, has modified and expanded the Academic All-State program for 2023.
ACADEMIC ALL-STATE
This is new for 2023, and requires that nominated athletes be varsity players from any grade level and hold a GPA of at least 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale). These players will receive a WBCA certificate from their school.
ELITE ACADEMIC ALL-STATE
This will be similar to what the WBCA has produced in the past, incorporating more robust academic review and incorporating on-court performance as well. This recognition continues to be for SENIORS ONLY. This is the best of the best combining all aspects of what it means to be a student-athlete. Nominees are reviewed by a selection committee and only 15 boys and 15 girls will be selected for the Elite Academic All-State team. These 15 boys and 15 girls players will be recognized at the WBCA All-State Banquet and receive plaques recognizing their accomplishment. Please note that all players nominated for Elite Academic All-State are automatically part of the regular Academic All-State list. The Elite Academic All-State will be announced at a later date.
