For the second straight year, McDonald’s annual All American Games will not be held in 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and instead, a virtual celebration will be held at a later date for the 48 boys and girls selected for the honor.
Joe Wootten, McDonald’s All American Games Selection Committee Chairman, offered the following explanation.
“Even during an unprecedented year, we were so impressed seeing high school athletes continuing to celebrate the game we all love, while making an impact both on and off the court. Recognizing that many of these student-athletes had their senior seasons altered or shortened, we wanted to honor them for their skill and dedication to the game of basketball. While we’re disappointed, we can’t hold an in-person Games this year, that does not take away from the accomplishments of this class and they will forever be a part of the legendary group of past and present McDonald’s All Americans.”
