Captain Shreve senior guard Kyron Reed and coach Corey Deans took top honors on the 2022 Boys 1-5A All-District team selected by district coaches.

Reed was selected the Most Valuable Player for a Gator team that won the district with a 13-1 record. He led a balanced team in scoring at 12.5 points per game and was a key defender as Shreve allowed only 38.8 points per game.

Deans was named the Coach of the Year helping lead his team to its third consecutive 20-win season at 26-6. The 26 wins tied for the fourth-most in a season for the Gators and the most since 26-10 in the 1992-93 season.
