About 100 high school boys and girls will have the opportunity to win IBCA/Subway Player of the Week recognition in 2017-18. This is the 10th season of IBCA Player of the Week Awards.
Initiated in 2008-09 thanks to support from the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever, these awards were given to deserving boys and girls who had outstanding weeks. Subway is beginning its sixth season as the award’s presenting partner. Last season, 99 players – 53 boys and 46 girls – were cited.
For the coming season, plans are for at least one boy and one girl from each of the three IHSAA districts to be honored each week, so long as there are nominees for the awards. The IBCA would prefer that nominations come from coaches of potential winners or from media in those areas. Coaches are to be IBCA members to nominate players.
To submit a nominee, please e-mail info to IBCA Director of Special Projects Pat McKee (patmckee77@aol.com) by noon Monday each week of the playing season (girls from Nov. 6 through Feb. 26; boys from Nov. 27 through March 26).
If you nominate a player, please include the player's name, school, grade, height, position, year in school and a recap of the player's performance in his/her game or games of the preceding week, Monday through Saturday. Please also include the coach's name, e-mail address and best phone number to reach the coach. Posting game information on Scorebook Live, a second-year IBCA corporate partner, is a way to ensure players from your team will be considered for a Player of the Week award.
After all players are selected during a given week, they will be added to a growing list of IBCA/Subway High School Players of the Week. The weekly listings will be posted no later than noon Tuesday. Coaches and/or Athletic Directors of the weekly winners will be notified by Pat McKee.
The first deadline for reports for the coming season will be noon on Monday, Nov. 6 for girls and Monday, Nov. 27 for boys. These will continue each week through the Monday following the IHSAA Boys and Girls State Finals.
