Boys tennis featured some standout players in 2019. Here are our official 11 BLITZ Tennis Player of the Year nominees.

WHAT’S NEXT? We will narrow this list down to a finalist pool of 3-4 to be voted on by our internal (NOT public) voting panel to determine the Player of the Year.

WHO NOMINATED THESE PLAYERS? Coaches were all asked for their team’s nominations. If a coach did not respond to the attempts, we used available information/stats from MaxPreps to determine POY candidates. *Dawson, Commerce & Towns did not nominate any players*
**We are open to additions if you feel we have missed someone. Send to brian@blitzsportsga.com
