INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Washington's Tyler Zeller, who led the state in scoring and like his brother three years ago led the Hatchets to the Class 3A championship, heads The Associated Press All-State basketball team for 2008.

The 7-foot North Carolina recruit, a second-team selection last year, averaged 32.7 points and 10.8 rebounds last season and scored a tourney-record 43 points in Washington's 3A championship win over Fort Wayne Harding.

His older brother, Luke, led Washington to the 2005 title on his way to becoming Indiana's Mr. Basketball, and Tyler Zeller is a front-runner for this year's award to be announced next month by the sponsoring Indianapolis Star.

Brittany Rayburn of Attica, a Purdue recruit who already has been named Miss Basketball by The Star, heads the AP girls All-State team.

Unlike last year, when the AP boys first team featured Mr. Basketball and IU recruit Eric Gordon and four Purdue recruits, this year's top team has only one player heading to an in-state college next season.

Garrett Butcher of Edgewood, a 6-7 Butler recruit, averaged 25.2 points a game and moved up from the AP third team a year ago. Joining Zeller and Butcher on the first team are 6-5 Zack Novak of Chesterton, a Michigan recruit who averaged 28 points a game; 6-2 Julius Mays of 4A runner-up Marion, a North Carolina State recruit who averaged 18.5 points this season; and 6-7 DeShaun Thomas of 2A champion Fort Wayne Luers, a sophomore who has not yet picked a college.

Thomas, a third-team All-State pick as a freshman, averaged 29.5 points a game this season.

Brownsburg teammates Julian Mavunga and Gordon Hayward were named to the AP second team. The 6-foot-8 Mavunga, a Miami (Ohio) recruit, and the 6-9 Hayward, also headed to Butler, averaged almost 19 points a game each and led the Bulldogs to the 4A championship, their first state title.

Also on the second team are Braydon Hobbs of New Albany, the state's No. 1-ranked team whose only loss was to Brownsburg in the tourney semistate; Kyle Kuric of Evansville Memorial, a Louisville recruit; and Randy Davis of Plymouth, the 3A champion in 2007.

Another Butler recruit, Chase Stigall of New Castle, was named to the AP third team, along with Tyler Koch of 2A runner-up Winchester, IU recruit Derek Elston of Tipton, Zavier Sanders of Northwestern and IUPUI recruit Larry Stone of Indianapolis Howe.

Besides Rayburn, the girls first team includes Skylar Diggins of 4A runner-up South Bend Washington, a repeat selection from last year. Diggins, a 5-9 junior who has not picked a college, averaged 29.7 points a game last season. Connecticut recruit Kelly Faris, another junior who led Heritage Christian to its third straight 2A championship; Tennessee recruit Briana Bass of Indianapolis North Central, and Miami (Ohio) recruit Maggie Boyer of Lebanon round out the AP first team.

The second team includes 4A champion Carmel teammates Chrissy Steffen and Danielle Havel, along with Alex Guyton of Bloomington North, Emily Phillips of South Bend Washington and Alex Bentley of Indianapolis Ben Davis. The AP third team consists of Brittany Schoen of South Central (Harrison), Betsy Adams of Twin Lakes, Lindsay Enterline of Heritage, Lauren Taylor of Brownsburg and Deja Mattox of Maconaquah.
