The TSSAA announced Mr. and Miss Basketball finalists for the 2024-25 basketball season on Thursday.
Finalists — and winners — are selected on regular season performance alone, as well as character and academics.
PLEASE NOTE: What a player does beyond this point will not affect him or her winning Mr. or Miss Basketball, respectively.
Winners will be announced at 5:30 p.m. Central time on Tuesday, March 18, at the TUCKER THEATRE on campus of Middle Tennessee State University. This is a new location for the presentation, as the ceremony used to be held at the Murphy Center.
