On Sunday, the Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) released its girls and boys Basketball All-State teams with a total of three Charles Henderson players and one Pike County athlete making All-State.

For the Charles Henderson boys team, both seniors Austin Cross and Jayden Spearman took Class 5A All-State honors. Cross tallied 22.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game as a senior at CHHS. The 6-foot-3-inch guard knocked down 112 threes this season as he earned 5A First-Team honors.
