Each year since 2006, MaxPreps has recognized outstanding performers in
high school basketball. America's source for high school sports continues
the tradition to close out the 2020-21 season by naming the top player in
each state. Selections are based on team success and individual
excellence, in addition to local and state accolades.
Patrick McMahon of
Colony (Palmer)
is the 2020-21 MaxPreps Alaska High School Basketball Player of
the
Year. The 6-foot-6 senior guard helped the Knights go 13-2 en route to
