From Class A Handbook regarding all-conference & all-state selections

A Each conference will choose its all-conference team at the divisional tournament. It will consist of five first team selections and five-second team selections and honorable mention selections less than or equal to the number of teams in the conference.

B Only all conference individuals are eligible for selection to all state.

C Maximum number of all state selections in basketball is 16 with 3 from each conference and one additional selection for each conference that has a team that places in the top 4 at the state tournament. Each conference should rank the next four all-conference selections to insure they are able to name additional all-state selections if awarded.

D The all-state team may be separated into first and second team all state at the discretion of the coaches. If this is done, the combined first and second team must be within the maximum number established for that sport.
