Three basketball standouts from the Richmond area have been nominated for the prestigious 2025 McDonald’s All American Games, set for April 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The nominees include Rayne Wright of Manchester High School in Midlothian, Aiden Argabright of John Marshall High School in Richmond and Troy Henderson, also of John Marshall High School. Wright represents the girls’ team, while Argabright and Henderson are members of the boys’ team.

Players were nominated by high school coaches, athletic directors, principals or members of the McDonald’s All American Games Selection Committee. The selections were based on competitive criteria aimed at recognizing the nation’s top basketball talent.

These athletes join a storied history of nominees that includes some of basketball’s biggest names such as Candace Parker, Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant and Breanna Stewart.

The final rosters, featuring 24 girls and 24 boys, will be announced later this month on ESPN’s social and digital platforms. Tickets for the event are available at mcdaag.com. The games will be broadcast on April 1 with the Girls Game airing at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and the Boys Game following at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
