Three others earn superlative honors
CUMBY — With the North Hopkins Panthers’ season ending in the Regional Semifinals recently, District 15-2A released their All-District selections for the 2023-24 boys basketball season. North Hopkins, the undefeated district champions, unsurprisingly cleaned up well, with 10 players earning All-District honors, along with head coach Kelley Clark being named Coach of the Year.
The Como-Pickton Eagles and Cumby Trojans, the other two Hopkins County teams in the district, were also well represented combing for 12 All-District selections.
