The 2018-19 basketball season saw perhaps one of the best girls seasons we have seen in awhile, and the following players are more than deserving of Player of the Year honors. Here are our 21 BLITZ Basketball Player of the Year nominees and 14 Honorable Mentions.

DISCLAIMER: All coaches were asked to submit POY nominees. If no one was nominated, we have chosen based on the information we have, or have added players as well, including Honorable Mentions.

VOTING is NOT public for Player of the Year. We have an internal voting panel made up of sports reporters, former coaches and players, officials, etc who will determine the POY via a Heisman-style vote.
