SBLive's All-West Texas Boys Basketball Teams: Clarendon's LaMarcus Penigar is MVP

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 our All-Region teams for Central Texas and East Texas. 

Now, it’s time to shift our focus to the El Paso area, Permian Basin, Texas Panhandle and beyond to unveil our 2022 SBLive All-West Texas Boys Basketball teams and awards.

Two of the state’s most dynamic guards in Class 5A headline our All-West Texas selections.

El Paso Chapin junior KJ Lewis, who has verbally committed to Arizona, earned our All-West Texas Offensive Player of the Year award after posting averages of more than 20 points and five assists per game.

Joining him is Amarillo senior Brendan Hausen, a Villanova signee who ends his career as the all-time leading scorer in program history after leading the Sandies to a regional championship game appearance.

Other notable All-West Texas honorees include Clarendon’s senior LaMarcus Penigar and junior J’maury Davis — a Texas Tech football commit — who helped the Broncos capture the 2A state title, as well as many of the state’s most elite small-school stars.

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