/in /by

The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) has announced the finalists for the 2023 Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards, which are presented to the top girls and boys in six classifications throughout the state.

A statewide committee of sportswriters selected winners based on performance during the 2022-2023 regular season. Academics and character were also taken into consideration. The finalists were nominated by high school head basketball coaches and members of the media.

This is the 38th year that the Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards have been presented to Tennessee’s best high school basketball players. American General was the sponsor of the event from the inception of the awards in 1985 until 2001. The Memphis Grizzlies were sponsors of the awards from 2002-2004. From 2005-2015, the Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards were presented at the conclusion of each respective championship game as part of the post-game trophy ceremony.

The student-athletes will be recognized on the floor of MTSU’s Murphy Center on Monday, March 13 at 5 p.m. The event will be open to the public.
