We asked high school coaches around the country to submit players for our Improvement Award, which was last awarded in 2010. Designated to high school juniors and seniors, this award is designated to those players who have shown massive improvements since last year and/or throughout the 2018 season.

We were not only looking for a team’s Most Improved Player but those who have made noteworthy strides against other players across the country, too. This honor recognizes the hard work a player has put in all year, both on and off the court. Many nominees have excelled in new positions and others have finally earned a starting position.

We will announce one winner of the Improvement Award next week. Until then, here are 29 exceptional nominees we have received, listed in alphabetical order, who were nominated by their respective coaches.  Congratulations to all of the nominees!
