The TSSAA announced its finalists Thursday for the 2022-23 Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards.
And the 5Star Preps coverage area placed many on the list.
But they’re not the only ones up for the honors. See the full list of finalists below.
Winners for the boys’ and girls’ awards will be announced at a ceremony on Monday, March 13, at MTSU’s Murphy Center in Murfreesboro.
Coaches and media across the state nominated players while a committee comprised of media members from around the state selected finalists and winners based on various factors such as: regular-season performance, academics, character, etc…
PLEASE NOTE: This is a regular-season award. There is no voting that occurs during or after the postseason.
