The high school basketball season is over in most states and winding down in others, so it's time to look back at the plays of the year.

High School On SI compiled two months' worth of plays of the week throughout the winter boys basketball season, and now it's time for fans to pick the best of the bunch.

Watch the video below of the eight weekly winners and top two vote-getting runners-up, and then vote in the poll for the High School On SI national play of the year.
