Since 1956, the Bangor Daily News has been selecting high school boys basketball players for their allstate team, considered to be the top five talented players in the Pine Tree State. The newspaper also selects a second and a third team of five players each plus a list of 20 or more considered to be in the honorable mention category.

For the first time since 2005, no Washington County player was listed among the top 35 or 40 players in the state of Maine.
