The 2023-24 season is a wrap for girls hoops. Here are the nominees for BLITZ Player of the Year. Coaches were asked to send a maximum of 4 players for consideration. In total, the 2023-24 nominees list consists of 27 players.

What’s next? We will take the nominees and whittle them down to a select group of finalists. From there, a Fan Vote will be open to add a ‘Last Finalist’ to join that group. Then, our internal voting panel will vote Heisman-style for the winner.
