2021 All Area Girls Basketball
Welcome to the 2021 All Area Basketball Team, presented by Mainstreet Daily News and The Prep Zone. We convened a panel of local sports writers and coaches to select the best of the best from the 2020-21 high school basketball season, taken from within Mainstreet’s nine-county coverage area in North Central Florida.
The team is broken into four squads: small school (1A-3A) girls and boys and big school (4A-7A) girls and boys. It includes 44 players and two coaches, each of whom is receiving a commemorative plaque in recognition of their outstanding season. We’ve also recognized another 14 players as honorable mentions. Each of our stories is listed below, followed by the full roster with photos. Congratulations to each of these student athletes and coaches on a job well done!
