Junior forward Cody Geiger and senior center Marcus Miller were both named to the Class Four All-State team. Geiger led the state champion Tigers in scoring all season and his double-double in the championship game — 20 points and 10 rebounds — was a big part of the victory over Normandy.
Miller was the anchor inside for a big Republic lineup. He averaged 8.4 points and nearly five rebounds per game, and shot 67% from the floor for the season.
Coach Trevyor Fisher was named Class 4 State Coach of the Year. The season was not only his first at the helm in Republic, but his first as a head coach anywhere.
