Cissna Park standout Christian Stadeli and Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley’s Ryland Holt lead the local charge in Class 1A and 2A boys' basketball all-state votes. The selections were announced Thursday afternoon.

Timberwolves senior Christian Stadeli was chosen for the 1A first team by media members from around the state, with Falcons senior Ryland Holt garnering 2A second-team status.

Stadeli and Holt were among seven local/area athletes who received at least two all-state votes. Stadeli was the second-leading vote-getter in 1A, while Holt ranked eighth in that respect in 2A.

The two athletes are both competing in IHSA state tournament action this weekend. Stadeli leads Cissna Park (31-4) into Friday's 11 a.m. Class 1A semifinal versus Central A&M, while Holt paces GCMS (32-2) ahead of Friday's 7:15 p.m. Class 2A semifinal against Nashville.

The 6-foot-7 Stadeli averages 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds on top of shooting 77 percent from the field. He posted a 29-point, 13-rebound double-double in the Timberwolves’ super-sectional victory over Yorkville Christian on Tuesday.

Holt, a 6-5 competitor signed to Division II Minnesota-Mankato, accounts for 14.4 points and 9.5 boards per contest to go with a bevy of blocked shots. He’s also helped Falcons football to consecutive state championships.
