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.
Dylan Khalil of
Sanborn Regional (Kingston) is the 2020-21 MaxPreps New Hampshire High School Basketball Player of the Year. The senior shooting guard averaged 22 points per game while leading the Indians to a 10-5 record.

In addition to Mr. Basketball honors, Khalil earned Division II Player of the Year after leading Sanborn Regional to the state semifinals.
