N&O readers name Emerson Waldorf’s Trevor Button as boys HS senior of the year
News & Observer readers have named Emerson Waldorf’s Trevor Button as high school basketball senior of the year.
Waldorf is a K-12 school in Chapel Hill.
The media outlet ran a poll for a week that included nominees who were ranked in MaxPreps among the top 20 statewide in points, rebounds, steals or assists.
Button earned more than 80 percent of the vote, finishing ahead of Orange’s Jerec Thompson, Research Triangles Anas Hasan and Thales Academy’s Nasir Bell.
Button, at the time the poll began, was the No. 2 scorer in North Carolina at 32 points per game.
The entire list of finalists and their accomplishments are below.
Note: This is not the All-News & Observer or our all-state Super Team and will have no bearing on those selections, which will be named later this year.
