The fifth-annual HighSchoolOT girls basketball all-state team features 29 players making at least a second appearance on the team, including two four-time selections (Watauga’s Kate Sears and Bishop McGuinness’ Adelaide Jernigan).

There is a first, second, and third team with 15 players each followed by an Honorable Mention list of 30 players.

Only players whose schools are full-fledged members of any of the state’s four largest associations (NCHSAA, NCISAA, NCCSA, NCHEAC) are eligible, but they cannot be a fifth-year senior (there is a separate fifth-year senior team).
