<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the AAU season now underway, we have reached the end of the road with our high school post-season awards.

Now, for our final act, we bring you a look at the top younger performers of the 2024-25 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>More than ever before, there are 9th, 8th and even 7th graders playing major roles in varsity basketball.
