The Florida high school basketball season has officially concluded, and now we turn our attention to the player of the year nominees. High School on SI will nominate 10 student-athletes who they think will be the player of the year in their respective classifications.
Voting will end on Wednesday, March 19 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time; Here are the nominees for the Class 3A girls basketball player of the year.
Savanna Nicholson, Cardinal Gibbons, Guard (Senior)
Nicholson averaged 23.3 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.7 steals per game for the Chiefs this season. She is a hard-nosed defender where she gets into the passing lanes as well as having one of the quickest releases from behind the arc in the state.
Ellie Bross, Calvary Christian (Clearwater), Forward (Sophomore)
Bross averaged 22.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 4.8 steals per game this season for the Lady Warriors.
Kaylee Goodpaster, North Bay Haven Academy, Guard (Junior)
The Florida State University softball commit is coming off her career-best in scoring where she averaged a team-high 20.3 points per game. She also is a pest on the defensive end of the floor where she averages nearly five steals per game.
Caroline Ward, Bishop Verot, Guard (Sophomore)
Ward averaged 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game for the Lady Vikings this season.
Jade Jones, King's Academy, Forward (Senior)

Mignery is a two-way player who played a huge role in the Lady Cougars run to the state title, where she averaged 16.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game this season. Her size and physicality will continue to be a problem for the next two high school seasons where she is already receiving Power 4 offers.
