[I]The announcement was made on ESPN’s ‘The Jump,’ and Winder-Barrow coach Kimberly Garren streamed the show on her phone while the team went through practice. When the time came for the big reveal, Nelson-Ododa and her teammates watched it together.

“She made it and the team went wild,” Garren said. “She actually hit her knees and cried at center court.”

The selection was “a little emotional,” Nelson-Ododa said.

Only 24 female high school basketball players across the nation are selected as a McDonald’s All American.

“You have to be elite, you have to be a five-star player, you have to be in the top five, six recruits in the nation to stand a really good chance,” Garren said. “And you also have to have more than just one part of your game being good and that’s why (Nelson-Ododa) is so good. She’s a 6-foot-5 post player that can shoot threes, handle the ball and dribble up and down the court so she’s just versatile.”[/I]
