PLAYER OF THE YEAR

TRENT PERRY, HARVARD-WESTLAKE, SR.

If you need Trent Perry to score, he can do it.

If you need Perry to set up his teammates, he can do that, too.

Rebound. Defend. Lead. Trent Perry can do it. 

Throughout the 2023-24 season, he did it all.

The four-year Harvard-Westlake standout, now signed to USC as a McDonald's All-American, led the Wolverines to a CIF State Open Division championship for a second straight year, a feat accomplished after winning the program's first Open Division Southern Section title.
