Chaminade College Prep star Bradley Beal has been selected to play in the 2011 McDonald’s All-American Game. This year’s game will be played on Wednesday night, March 30 at the United Center in Chicago.
Beal is the latest player from St. Louis to be selected a McDonald’s All-American. The last player from the area to play in the McDonald’s game was former Chaminade star David Lee, who won the event’s slam-dunk contest in 2001.
Other McDonald’s All-Americans from St. Louis included Darius Miles of East St. Louis (2000), Larry Hughes of CBC (1997), Loren Woods of Cardinal Ritter (1996), Ryan Robertson of St. Charles West (1995), Richard Keene of Collinsville (1992), LaPhonso Ellis of East St. Louis Lincoln (1988) and Steve Stipanovich of DeSmet (1979).
The 6’4″ Beal is currently averaging 32 points a game to lead the St. Louis metropolitan area in scoring. Beal scored 44 points on Thursday night to lead Chaminade to an 82-77 victory over O’Fallon in the featured game at the Coaches vs. Cancer Shootout at the Chaifetz Arena.
Chaminade is currently 19-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state of Missouri. Congratulations to Bradley on his special honor, which is the latest in a long line of great accomplishments during his career. He has been a great player and a great ambassador for St. Louis area basketball throughout the world.
