Two more awards for two of the most decorated high school basketball players in Nebraska.

North Star’s Donovan Williams and Crete’s Morgan Maly were named Mr. and Miss Basketball in the state on Thursday.

Williams, who has yet to commit to a college though he has a number of Division-I offers, exploded in the second half of the season for the Gators after missing the early part as he recovered from a torn ACL. He scored 28 points a game and grabbed eight rebounds this past year.

Maly, a Creighton signee, averaged 20 points and nine rebounds a game this past season, leading Crete to its first state title since 1981. She was also named Nebraska’s Gatorade Player of the Year in March.
