Taliah Scott's historic club: Northeast Florida girls basketball McDonald's All-Americans

Taliah Scott is hours away from one of high school basketball's most exclusive clubs.

When the St. Johns Country Day guard takes the floor in Houston for the McDonald's All-American Game for girls basketball inside the Toyota Center on Tuesday evening, she'll be making history for Northeast Florida.

Scott becomes only the fourth area athlete, and the first ever from Clay County, selected to the annual showcase for the nation's leading talent in high school girls hoops.

After averaging more than 35 points per game and leading the Spartans to their first Florida High School Athletic Association final four, the Arkansas signee will join 23 other elite prospects on the court to cap an award-winning high school career.

Here are Northeast Florida's previous McDonald's All-Americans in girls basketball.

Dorian Williams (Stevens), Ribault, 2003

Jacksonville's first-ever McDonald's All-American in girls hoops, she became a rare four-time All-First Coast player of the year as part of the Trojans' dynasty under Al Austin at the turn of the millennium. At Ribault, she scored 2,780 total points and won the Florida High School Athletic Association championship in each of her four seasons, showing the shooting touch to dominate from the perimeter and the overall skill set to excel at just about everything else. She averaged 20.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists in her senior year. Following her Trojans career, she signed with Florida State and played with the Seminoles as a starting guard through the 2007-08 season. She has since returned to coach the Trojans.

Erica White, Ribault, 2004

White continued the Trojan tradition to become Jacksonville's second McDonald's All-American, averaging 23.7 points per game as an elusive, slashing, ball-handling guard. She was also a key player for Ribault in the postseason, earning FHSAA titles in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and scoring 21 points in the 2003 title game against Bradenton Southeast to receive the tournament's MVP award. White played college basketball at LSU and made four consecutive final four appearances in the NCAA Tournament, then played a season in the WNBA after the Houston Comets drafted her in the second round in 2008.

Rennia Davis, Ribault, 2017

The centerpiece of Ribault's renewed dynasty in the mid-2010s, Davis won three FHSAA titles in 2014, 2016 and 2017, and helped the Trojans to a national tournament victory in 2016. She concluded her high school career with 2,304 points, at the time in the top five for Northeast Florida girls hoops history, and her senior year was one for the books in Jacksonville hoops history (26.3 points, 10.5 rebounds). After high school, she played four years at Tennessee, scoring 1,815 points to rank ninth in Lady Vols history and twice receiving first-team All-SEC honors. Selected in the first round of the 2021 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx, she now plays for the Indiana Fever.
