Freshman Player of the Year: Trevor Stanback

Notes: We recognize that many top freshmen and sophomores have yet to fully develop their skills and that many top young players are in strong programs and may be currently behind older players….

These players all played at the varsity level and these selections were based more on what they did during the high school season and very little on AAU or summer competition….

Thanks to Cal-Hi Sports co-founder Mark Tennis and to Associate Editor Harold Abend for assisting in the selection process…
