OHIO — The 49th annual McDonald’s game brings two Ohioans to the Phoenix hardwood.
Anthony Thompson of Western Reserve High School and Geneva and Saniyah of Spire Academy were both named to the games on Feb. 4.
Thompson plays small forward for coach Michael Brown and averages 22 points per game. He signed with Ohio State University in Oct. 2025.
Hall, a combo guard, averages 20 points per game for her coach Mike Dooley and signed with the University of South Carolina in Nov. 2025.
Independent scouts and analysts handpicked the rosters from more than 700 nominations.
“Nearly five decades into the McDonald’s All American Games, I continue to be amazed by the talent who raise the bar every year, and the fans who show up and show out to support them,” said Elizabeth Campbell, Vice President of Marketing, McDonald’s USA. “We can’t wait to welcome the Class of 2026 into this storied legacy and cheer them on as they write the next chapter of basketball history.”
Ohio residents can watch Hall and Thompson show off their skills in Phoenix on ESPN. The girls’ game is set for 7 p.m., March 31 with the boys’ game following at 9 p.m.
