Temi Fagbenle Named A McDonald’s All American

By Sam Neter on February 12, 2011

Temi Fagbenle, the 6’4″ forward/center currently attending Blair Academy in New Jersey has been named to the prestigious McDonald’s All American Game for the best 24 high school players in the US. She’ll be suiting up for the East Team after a standout season with Blair where she is averaging close to 18 points, more than 12 rebounds, two blocks and two steals per game in her senior year.

Fagbenle, who was named the England U18 Women’s Player of the Year for 2010, originally came through the renowned Haringey Angels programme, and has committed to Harvard for next season.

She is ranked #13 in her class by ESPN HoopGurlz.

Last summer Fagbenle suited up for the England U18 Women at the 2010 Division B European Championships, being named to the all tournament team after averaging 16 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2.5 blocks per game on just under 60% field goal shooting (57.8%).

She led the tournament in defensive rebounds, 2pt field goal percentage, double doubles, total rebounds and 2pt field goals made as well as being amongst the leaders in a number of other key statistical categories.

Read more information about Temi in this great article published by the New Jersey Herald in January.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
