The nomination list for the 2009 McDonald's All-American game is out and 20 area standouts are among those being considered for the April showcases.

While 19 Massachusetts boys were tabbed, the biggest surprise might be that only one female -- Dighton-Rehoboth's Mary Nwachukwu -- appears on the girls' nomination list. Not even Memphis-bound Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir -- the state's new all-time leading scorer -- made the list.

Here are the boys' nominations:
