Four of Cincinnati’s top basketball players have been nominated for a chance to play in the 2025 McDonald’s All American Games on April 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Players were nominated by a high school coach, athletic director, principal or member of the McDonald’s All American Games Selection Committee based on competitive criteria. The Cincinnati-area players nominated to play in this year’s games are:
• Mari Gerton, Princeton, High School
• Darriana Alexander, Purcell Marian High School
• Alli Robertson, William Henry Harrison High School
• Madison Parrish, Mason High School.
The new class of nominees joins an elite group of athletes who, over four decades, have been nominated for a chance to play in the nation’s premiere showcase – including today’s top stars such as Candace Parker, Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Breanna Stewart and many more stars of the NBA and WNBA.
