A pair of Maroons were selected for the All State girls basketball girls team.

Other Mountain Empire players named to the first team were Galax junior Keely Bartlett and Maroon Tide freshman Rylee Hawks, who was also named the Class 1 Player of the Year.
Galax coach Patrick Puckett was picked as the Class 1 Coach of the Year.
The 5-foot, 11-inch Hawks averaged 20.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.0 assists per game, while leading the Maroon Tide to the state finals and a 57-39 win over the Luray Bulldogs at the VCU Siegel Center.
