We’re starting each week of the 2025-26 basketball season with a proverbial show of hands.
Check in to see which impact players made the cut and vote for the lohud Boys Basketball Player of the Week, presented by White Plains Hospital. Maybe they filled up the stat sheet in a quality win against a ranked opponent. Maybe they had a productive week and delivered over the course of two or three games.
We ask the coaches to send in nominations before selecting the finalists.
The poll will remain open until 3 p.m. each Wednesday and the winner is featured on the lohud sports social media accounts.
