The Class 5A all-state basketball teams were announced this week and nine Intermountain Conference hoopers and one coach are on the list.

Summit senior Pearson Carmichael and coach Jon Frazier highlighted the list, earning 5A’s Player and Coach of the Year after leading the Storm to their first-ever state title.

Carmichael was named the 5A Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.

The Boise State basketball signee was selected for several Player of the Year honors.

He was named Oregon’s Max Preps Player of the Year, The Oregonian’s Player of the Year, the Oregon Basketball Coaches Association Player of the Year and the Oregon Sports Awards Player of the Year.

In his swan song as the Storm’s coach, Frazier capped off his 13th season with the program’s (and the city of Bend’s) first-ever state championship, and he was also named the state’s Coach of the Year.

Joining Carmichael on 5A’s first team was Mountain View senior Quincy Townsend, who capped off his playing career as one of Oregon’s most prolific scorers and was a two-time first-team selection.

Summit senior Collin Moore was named to the state’s second team, while Redmond junior Ian Pearson and Mountain View senior Ian Prictor received honorable mention.

After landing on the second team a year ago, Mountain View’s Kasey Booster, the two-time IMC Player of the Year, ended her career on the 5A girls first-team after helping the Cougars place at the state tournament for the first time in program history.

Redmond — which won the IMC and reached the state semifinals for the first time in program history — had two guards, junior Dylan Cheney and sophomore Mylaena Norton, receive honorable mention.

Mountain View senior Avery Andrews also earned honorable mention.

All-state teams are determined by a vote of the state’s coaches, compiled by the SBLive Oregon staff, and published jointly by SBLive Oregon and The Oregonian/OregonLive.
