Vote: Who is the Florida South Suncoast Boys Basketball Player of the Week (1/22/2024)?

We have eight candidates for you to choose from

The Florida High School Boys Basketball season is in full swing and we continue our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams started off the regular season with some great individual performances.

As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s South Suncoast high school boys basketball player of the week award from January 15-20, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, January 28th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Here are this week's nominees: 

Jeremiah Dawson, Sarasota Riverview: The senior forward makes the list again after another solid performance. Dawson scored 20 points and grabbed seven boards in a 72-59 win over Riverdale. 

Jovan Palavra, Sarasota Booker: The senior went off for 22 points in the Tornadoes’ 59-43 victory over Imagine School of North Port last week. 

Nick Yatros, Saint Stephen’s Episcopal: The senior scored a team-high 14 points in a loss to Charlotte.
