Player of the year

Destiny Lunan, Millennium - An easy call. Lunan was the state player of the year, by virtually evey organization that covered girls hoops. And that was before she took over the Open Division title game against rival Valley Vista, scoring 37 points  and leading the Tigers to their first undisputed state championship. All year she was a willing and able leader of a young team and showed tremendous growth in knowing when to take over games and when to defer.

Runner-up: Kinsey Murray, Valley Vista

Second runner-up: Jaila Flowers, Canyon View

Coach of the year

Danny Soliman, Millennium

Runner-up: Brooklyn Hinkens, Valley Vista
