Junior forward Derrick Thomas II was the lone player from the men's side to make the list after appearing in all 31 games for Post while achieving a perfect 4.0 average in the fall. This is Thomas II's first time making it on the All-District Team. 

For the women under Head Coach Courtney Burns in her first season as the head coach, graduate forward Taina Pagan and graduate guard TiJanae Simmons both made the list. While Pagan played in 25 games, starting 24 of them, and Simmons played in all 27 games while starting in 18 of them, the duo both also achieved perfect 4.0 GPAs in the fall to make their way on to the All-District Team for the first time at Post.
