Highlands junior guard Micah Mason and South Fayette senior forward Mike Lamberti were first-team all-state selections in Class AAA. Beaver Falls' Sheldon Jeter was first-team in Class AA and Lincoln Park's Chaquille Pratt made the top team in Class A.
Some other WPIAL players were second- and third-team selections. All of the all-state selections are listed below.
Also, the WPIAL had two coaches selected coaches of the year in the state - Montour's Adam Kaufman (AAA) and Vincentian's George Yokitis (A).
