Meet all of the fall sport nominees for the Arizona High School Sports Awards
The Arizona High School Sports Award will be back with an exciting live event again in 2023. The program is produced with the support of Diamond Kitchen and Bath.
The nine-month student-athlete recognition program will culminate in an in-person show, featuring the top student-athletes from the state of Arizona. The event’s time, date and venue are still to be determined and will be announced soon.
Nominees for player of the year for Arizona state sanctioned sports will be announced throughout the year in the Arizona Republic, on its website, azcentral.com, and on its many social platforms. Nominated athletes can click here to register.
During the live show, these nominees will be honored, along with the player of the year for each sport. The awards showcase will also feature other premier awards for both on and off-the-field accomplishments of student-athletes, coaches and teams, including a courage award and coach of the year, team of the year, and the boys and girls athlete of the year awards.
