See the Texas Player of the Year in action.
The 2019-20 high school basketball season concluded earlier than expected but at least 30 states crowned state champions and postseason honors are certainly in order.
We're doing our part by recognizing a player of the year in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Team success, individual statistics and local, regional and national honors were among the factors considered in deciding on our POYs.
The postseason awards continue next week (Wednesday, March 25) as we roll out our annual MaxPreps All-American Team.
