Trendon Watford Named McDonald's All American

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL - Anyone who has watched Mountain Brook's Trendon Watford play will likely not be surprised at the latest accolade for the Spartans senior forward. Watford was chosen to play in the prestigious McDonald's All-American game in Atlanta March 27.

The 2019 McDonald’s All American Boys teams feature the country’s top talent hailing from 17
different states. The Boys West Team includes Memphis-bound James Wiseman (East High
School—TN) and a pair of players heading to Villanova, Bryan Antoine (Ranney School—NJ) and
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (IMG Academy—KS).

The Boys East Team, featuring Watford, will also be led by Vernon Carey, Jr. (NSU University School, Fla.), who will attend Duke in the fall. He will be joined by highly-ranked Washington commit, Isaiah Stewart (La Lumiere School, NY) and Trayce Jackson-Davis (Center Grove High School, Ind) who plans to suit up for Indiana next season.

Last year's Mr. Basketball in Alabama, Watford is again having a strong season leading the Spartans into the national top 10. Watford was the only player from Alabama on the East roster. The two rosters include six players - including Watford - who have yet to commit to a college program.

ESPN2 will broadcast both All American Games live on Wednesday, March 27. The 18th annual girls game will air at 4 p.m. and the 42nd annual boys game immediately follows at 6 p.m.
