Last season, we recognized the first-ever Mr. and Miss Texas Basketball Players of the Year with Crosby's PJ Haggerty and Gruver's Bailey Maupin. This year, we plan to do the same at season's end. Here is an early list of potential candidates that we have our eyes on heading into the 2022-23 season. Please not, this is merely a preliminary list and not used to determine our finalist nominees at season's end.
