Glenbrook North senior Jon Scheyer was the only unanimous selection for the Class AA Associated Press All-State boys basketball team.

The 6-foot-6-inch senior, who has signed with Duke, was named to the first team on all 20 ballots by a statewide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. The All-State team was compiled for The AP by Marty Maciaszek of the Daily Herald.

Scheyer, who is averaging 32 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals a game for last year's state champions, was voted to the All-State team for the third time in his career.

Senior point guard Sherron Collins of Crane and junior Derrick Rose of Simeon were the only other first-teamers named on all 20 ballots. Both made the second team last year.

The Kansas-bound Collins is averaging 34 points a game. Rose is averaging 18 points a game for the Chicago Public League champions and the 6-foot-3 guard is receiving interest from several Division I teams, including North Carolina, Illinois, Kansas and Arizona.

Rounding out the first team are Marshall senior Patrick Beverley and Proviso East senior Brian Carlwell. Beverley is the top uncommitted senior in the state with averages of 36 points, 6 assists and 5 steals a game for a team that spent six weeks atop the Class AA poll. The 6-11 Carlwell has signed with Illinois and is averaging 23 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks a game.

The entire second team has made Division I college commitments: Edwardsville's Spencer Stewart (Illinois-Chicago), Bolingbrook's Will Walker (DePaul), Thornton's Joevan Catron (Oregon), St. Joseph's Jonathan Peoples (Notre Dame) and Freeport's Willie Veasley (Butler).

Third-teamers Paul Bayer of Moline (Lehigh), Dustin Maguire of Edwardsville (St. Louis) and Osiris Eldridge of Phillips (Illinois State) are headed to Division I schools.Washington senior Mario Little and Simeon junior Tim Flowers are also receiving Division I interest.
