The 2023 campaign saw several local players have breakout seasons. Others were established already and built on that success. Here are the 2023 Girls Tennis Player of the Year Nominees. Coaches were permitted to nominate up to a max of 3 lines.

Next, BLITZ will carefully whittle down the nominee list into a finalist group to be up for Player of the Year. The public will then get to vote for a last finalist from a handful of select nominees who didn’t make our finalist cut.

NOTE: Stephens County declined to nominate a player for 2023
