Congratulations to our postseason players and coaches of the year for the 2017-18 Minnesota high school boys' basketball season!

For the past 16 years, the Breakdown has covered the high school sports scene in Minnesota, naming both a preseason and postseason player of the year in each sport covered for each year (16 years of girls' and boys' basketball, 11 years of boys' hockey and girls' volleyball, four years of boys' baseball, one year of girls' softball, and soon to be our first year of girls' hockey).

We've complied that full list of players through the years, which is peppered with recognizable names from Minnesota's high school sports history. The full list may be found at: http://www.breakdownsportsusa.com/page/show/336134
