5 High School Sports Awards girls nominees who could be McDonald's All-Americans on Monday
The 48th Annual McDonald's All American Games are on April 1 at the Barclays Center in New York. On Monday, the rosters for the game will be announced. Last year, some of the top players in the country were recognized in various High School Sports Awards shows that are part of the USA Today High School Sports Awards program. Here are five of those players who could be chosen today for the girls game.
HSSA honors: The 2024 OKC Metro High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball Player of the Year
247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 17 overall
College: Committed to Kansas.
Evaluation: A shooting guard and small forward swing-man, Parks shoots the ball well and can also handle it in pressure situations. She is valuable because she can help bring the ball up court when needed, but can also spot up and hit an outside shot. She should add strength in college which will elevate her game as well.
McDonald's chances: High
The 2024-25 OKC Metro High School Sports Awards show is on June 10 at the Young Family Athletic Center is Norman.

HSSA honors: 2024 Arizona High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee
247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 20 overall
College: Committed to North Carolina
Evaluation: At 6-feet tall, Henderson is listed as a small forward but has shown the ability to play both on the perimeter and in the post. A lefty, she still has some work to do to become a valuable outside shooter in college, but the potential is there. She has the length to defend and rebound against bigger players.
McDonald's chances: Good
2025 5 ⭐️ Canadian Wing Taliyah Henderson out of Arizona has committed to North Carolina. Nice pick up for Banghart and staff.

HSSA honors: 2024 Northeast Wisconsin High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee
247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 29 overall
College: Committed to Maryland
Evaluation: In high school, Welson has been a drive first forward who has created a lot of shots off the dribble. Having said that, her outside shot has improved each year. How much move it improves could be a big factor in her college success.
McDonald's chances: Average
The 2024-25 Northeast Wisconsin High School Sports Awards are June 20 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The show is produced with the support of Cellcom.

HSSA honors: 2024 OKC Metro High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee
247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 34 overall prospect
College: Committed to Oklahoma
Evaluation: Lofton can flat out get up and down the court, even when she has the ball. The left-hander will attack the basket, especially off the fast break. She is also a very good perimeter defender. She will need to improve her mid-range shot in college, but has potential to be excellent in that capacity as well.
McDonald's chances: Below average

HSSA honors: 2024 Milwaukee High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee
247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 53 overall
College: Committed to Michigan State
Evaluation: Terrian is a point guard who controls the floor with precision. She is great at penetrating into the paint to create her own shot or kicking out to shooters on the perimeter. She is patient, tough and concentrates on helping her teammates find open shots.
McDonald's chances: Low
The 2024-25 Milwaukee High School Sports Awards show is June 18 at Miller High Life Theatre.
Amy Terrian went off for 36 points last night in a win for Pewaukee! @AmyTerrian Full highlights:
