The 2019-20 season for girls hoops was about as good as we’ve ever seen. 10 out of 12 area teams made the playoffs, 9 had winning records, 9 others were state-ranked, and 5 made it past the first round of state. While the teams themselves stand before individual efforts, many of the young ladies who have been recognized for their valiant efforts this season are listed below. Congrats to our 41 Player of the Year nominees and honorable mentions (alpha order both lists).
