Each year since 2006, MaxPreps has recognized outstanding performers in
high school basketball. America's source for high school sports continues
the tradition to close out the 2020-21 season by naming the top player in
each state. Selections are based on team success and individual
excellence, in addition to local and state accolades.
Patrick McMahon of
Colony (Palmer)
is the 2020-21 MaxPreps Alaska High School Basketball Player of
the
Year. The 6-foot-6 senior guard helped the Knights go 13-2 en route to
the Class 4A state semifinals.
McMahon averaged 27 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks per game while shooting 57 percent from the field and 39 percent from beyond the arc.
Named Class 4A Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, McMahon finished his career with over 1,700 points.
McMahon will join a strong Montana State recruiting class that includes MaxPreps Wyoming Player of the Year Sam Lecholat, MaxPreps Montana Player of the Year Alex Germer, 7-3 center Jasper Reinalda and international prospect Great Osobor.
Each
state's MaxPreps Player of the Year will be considered for inclusion in
the MaxPreps All-America Team, which is scheduled to be released April
13.
