The 2025 season is in the rearview…and that means it’s time to recognize our local talents up for Player of the Year. Coaches were asked to submit their top player(s) (3-6) for consideration. In total, we have 45 nominees.

NEXT: We will narrow down the list to a finalist pool, with the opportunity for the public to vote on the last finalist prior to the Player of the Year final vote by our internal voting panel.
