SBLive's All-East Texas Boys Basketball Teams: Beaumont United's Terrance Arceneaux is MVP

A bevy of the state’s top performers in Class 5A highlight our All-East Texas award winners and selections.

SBLive is recognizing the top boys basketball players throughout the state from this past season by unveiling All-Region teams and awards for Central, East, North, South and West Texas. Once the All-Region teams are released, we will unveil SBLive’s All-State Texas high school boys basketball teams and awards.

Earlier we unveiled SBLive's All-Central Texas Boys Basketball teams and awards. Now we're turning our attention to East Texas. 

A bevy of the state’s top performers in Class 5A highlight our All-East Texas award winners and selections.

Beaumont United teammates Terrance Arceneaux, SBLive’s All-East Texas MVP, and Wesley Yates III each earned their end-of-season recognition after leading the Wolves to their second straight state championship.

Arceneaux will play college ball for the Houston Cougars next season, while Yates — who boasts several Division I offers — is set to return as United’s senior leader next season.

Crosby, Beaumont United’s fiercest rival on the hardwood, also boasts one of the state’s top players from this past season in senior forward PJ Haggerty, a TCU signee who helped lead the Cougars to their first regional championship game appearance in decades.

Other notable All-East Texas selections include Richmond Foster guard and Louisiana-Lafayette commit Chancellor White; Alvin Shadow Creek forward and Texas State signee Shawn Jones; and Katy Paetow center Charles Chukwu and Cypress Falls forward Jesaiah McWright — both Tulsa commits.

Here’s a complete look at SBLive’s All-East Texas Boys Basketball teams and awards:
