Top 10 Finalists for Player of the Year

Last week we came out with our 30 finalists for the player of the year. It took a lot of comparing and discussion to get to that list because of how many impressive seasons were played this season. We are now ready to take the next difficult step and narrow down those 30 players to a Final 10. These are going to be the best of the best seasons that also led to winning seasons for the player’s team. For each player I will list their name, year, position, school, stats, noteworthy statistical rankings, and their team’s W/L record. Let’s see who have earned a spot as one of the 10 finalists for Prep Redzone Wisconsin Player of the Year!
