Michigan AP Division 3 basketball All-State boys team

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Tuesday afternoon, the 2021 Associated Press Division 3 boys basketball All-State team was unveiled, as selected by a panel of 12 Michigan sportswriters.

Three U.P. players and one coach all made the list. Menominee’s Aidan Bellisle, the U.P.’s Division 1-3 Player of the Year, was named to the First Team after averaging 17 points, five assists and four rebounds for Sam Larson’s club. Speaking of Larson, the Maroons head man was tabbed the Coach of the Year in Division 3 after guiding his team to a 23-4 mark, including a state runner-up finish.

Joining Bellisle and Larson on the list was a pair of Second Team players in Westwood senior Zach Carlson and Jeffers senior Johnny Schutz. The do-it-all guard did a little bit of everything for the Patriots this year, as Carlson paced his club with 24 points and five assists a game. For the Jets, Schutz, the crafty lefty stuffed the stat sheet, tallying 19 points, seven assists and seven rebounds on the year.

Here is the full list as follows:
