Finalists (listed alphabetically)
Jacob Angeles, Chester
Angeles has had to play every position from point guard to center in the last week, coach Jon Marsilio said.

Angeles scored a team-high 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds in his team's 69-67 win over Millbrook.

Aprilante recorded three consecutive double-doubles as his team won all three games the last week, improving to 12-1.
