Who will be the fans’ choice for boys HS Player of the Year? Vote now in the finals
The race to become AL.com’s first boys basketball player of the year is down to two.
Fans have voted each of the last three weeks in a 16-player, NCAA-tournament style bracket.
In last week’s semifinals, Huntsville’s Brayden Rivers defeated Ramsay’s Jayden Williams and Central-Phenix City’s Jacoby Hill defeated Hoover’s Salim London.
So, it comes down to Rivers vs. Hill for the fans’ choice as Player of the Year. The winner receives the coveted AL.com Trophy.
Voting is open now and will close Saturday.
