YAIAA girls' basketball coaches released their divisional all-star teams and selections for players and coaches of the year for the 2021-22 season this week.

Coaches nominated their own players, but were not allowed to vote for their own players during the process.

Here are the selections by division.

Trump administration to lay out defense of Venezuela deportations despite judge's order
President Donald Trump's administration faces a deadline on Tuesday to explain to a judge why its deportation flights carrying Venezuelan migrants did not violate a judicial order to halt such removals, a day after it argued that any disclosure of further details would jeopardize U.S. national security.

The administration has said the flights were carried out under a little-used 18th-century law.
