Edison’s Carl Eberts was a second-team pick. Nick Capriccio and Garrett Yamasaki, both also from Edison, and Marina’s Dion Douglas were honorable mention.

Holmes made 149 three-point baskets to set a Marina single-season record, and that total ranks him second all-time on the state’s all-time single-season list for three-point shots made.
