The Pennsbury High School basketball team’s Dalton Pepper received yet another honor this week when he was named the Associated Press’ Pennsylvania Class AAAA boys’ basketball player of the year.

The 6-foot-5 Pepper, who will be playing at West Virginia next season, made the all-state team for the third time after averaging 24.4 points on the fourth straight Pennsbury team to reach the PIAA state playoffs.

Pepper scored 2,107 career points - five short of setting a new all-time lower Bucks record - and had nearly 1,000 rebounds while leading the Falcons to a 104-20 record during his career.

During that span, Pennsbury never lost a league game and reached the state semifinals two years ago and the quarterfinals this past season.
