Vote: Who is the South Florida High School Girls Basketball Player of the Week? (12/30/2024)

Here are the eight nominations from last week's games

High School On SI

The Florida High School Girls Basketball season has begun and we begin 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 Florida Florida high school girls basketball player of the week award from December 16-28, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, January 5th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll. 

SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. - SBLive Sports
