VOTE for The Star Press IU Health Boys Basketball Player of the Year

[ASFN Admin]

The IHSAA boys basketball season is over for East Central Indiana schools, and that means it's time for you to cast your vote for The Star Press Boys Basketball Player of the Year Fan Vote, brought to you by IU Health.

Last season's Player of the Year was Monroe Central senior Easton Foster, who averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 3.2 blocks per game while shooting 62% from the field to lead the Golden Bears to a regional championship. With Foster now a walk-on at Ball State, there will be a new Star Press Player of the Year this season.

This year's 10 nominees for The Star Press Boys Basketball Player of the Year include multiple record breakers and champions. The fan vote is only one-third of the process to determine The Star Press Boys Basketball Player of the Year. The other two-thirds are determined by The Star Press staff and feedback from area coaches.

The poll will remain open until noon Friday, March 27. You may vote one time per hour, per device. This means if you have a phone, tablet and computer to vote from, you may vote three times per hour. Please vote using the poll below — votes submitted via email will not be counted.
