(CHICAGO, Jan. 27, 2025) — For the second consecutive year, two Canadians have earned a coveted spot on the roster for the McDonald's All-American Girls Game, a showcase of the top high school basketball talent in North America.

Agot Makeer, hailing from Thunder Bay, Ont., and Deniya Prawl of Toronto, Ont., join a prestigious list of Canadian players, following in the footsteps of Nirra Fields (2012) and more recent stars Avery Howell and Syla Swords (2024).

Makeer, a versatile 6'1 guard currently playing at Montverde Academy, and Prawl, a dynamic 6'1 small forward from IMG Academy, both represented Canada last summer at the FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup. Their performances helped Canada achieve a historic milestone — a first-ever silver medal at the tournament.

Notably, Makeer’s exceptional play earned her a spot on the tournament’s All-Star Starting Five team, highlighting her impact on the international stage.

The McDonald’s All-American Games is headed to Brooklyn for the first time ever, descending on Barclays Center, April 1st, 2025, with the girls game tipping off at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The final group of 24 girls and 24 boys were hand selected by a collection of the game’s top analysts, prep scouts, media and coaches, from hundreds of potential high school players. This next generation of players represent communities from across the nation, each looking to make their own unique mark on the Games’ rich history, continuing a 48-year legacy of impact both on and off the court.
