Winter Super Teams are on their way, but before we get there, we need help from our readers.
This year, our readers will help determine our players of the year in every sport.
Much like we did with the Male and Female Athletes of the Year, our readers will have a say in who our Players of the Year are. We've cut down the list of the best of the best into an even more elite group (no easy task). We limited each school to a maximum of one candidate.
Vote for our High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Reader votes will make up 25% of the tally, with Sports Editor Laurie Los Lee making up the rest of the vote.
Voting will conclude on Friday, April 25.
In his first year with the team, the junior guard averaged 23 points, 4 assists, 3.3 steals and 8 rebounds to power the Whalers to the Big 3 Conference championship and a Div. 1 playoff berth. He had a career-high 35 points to go along with 10 rebounds against Natick. He also had double doubles against Abington (29 points and 12 rebounds), Franklin (28 points and 11 rebounds) and Dartmouth (23 points and 11 rebounds.
The four-year varsity member surpassed 1,000 career points this season, finishing with 1,411. He also had 1,015 rebounds, 373 steals and 406 assists in his career which included back-to-back Mayflower Athletic Conference and State Vocational championships. Finney was Old Colony’s Dave Cowens Award nominee.

The three-year varsity player and senior captain was instrumental in Old Rochester reaching the Div. 3 State final for the second straight year. Martin was in the top 10 in scoring in the SCC this year, averaging 15 points per game. He was in double figures in 18 of 22 games with a high of 29. He also averaged almost 6 assists per game, including a school record of 12 in one game, along with guarding the opposition’s best player nightly. In this year’s tournament, Martin averaged 18 points with highs of 22, 25 and 27 points and was a SCC All-Star and Old Rochester’s Dave Cowens Award nominee.
The sophomore took on a leadership role, helping a young Vikings team qualify for the playoffs after graduating nine seniors following a second straight Div. 4 state championship in 2024. This winter, Rose took his game to another level, averaging 23 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
