From a dynamic duo in 166su to electrifying ballers in the farthest reaches of the western part of the state and high-flying scorers everywhere in between, local student-athletes showcased their skills on the hardwood this season to the attention of a statewide audience.

Presented here is The 166su Times 2025 All-Timesland Boys Basketball Team, highlighting the student-athletes who exceled on the court this winter.

Coach of the Year: Anthony Barnes, Carroll County

There's a reason the Cavaliers dubbed this season "The Last Dance." A core group of senior players, who had been teammates since their elementary school days, were hoping to make their final season together a memorable one.

It certainly was, and at the forefront of that memorable season was their fifth-year head coach, who found the right recipe to guide Carroll County to its first state tournament berth in 12 years.

Barnes led the Cavaliers to a 23-3 final record. They started the season 15-0, and didn't lose their final two games until the Region 3D championship and Class 3 state quarterfinals. Barnes also helped produce the program's all-time leading scorer in Bryce Smoot, who averaged 19.3 points per game. 

Player of the Year: Reed Kirtner, George Wythe 

Not to be outdone by his prolific season overall, the senior forward was simply sensational in the Class 1 state championship. He poured in a game-high 30 points via 10-of-17 shooting and sinking 5-of-10 shots from beyond the arc to lead the Maroons to the title.

Kirtner scored 20.2 points per game this season, leading a high-octane George Wythe squad that went 26-4, beating teams like William Fleming and Abingdon, averaged over 73 points per game and ended the season on a 20-game winning streak. He added 1.8 steals and 3.4 rebounds a contest.

For his efforts, Kirtner was named Class 1 Player of the Year, and received Region 1C and Mountain Empire District player of the year honors as well. He capped off his senior season by becoming the Maroons' all-time leading scorer with 1,680 career points.
