High School On SI

We're now in the month of February, and the high school basketball playoffs are just around the corner. Once again, it's time to answer the question: Who was the Maryland Girls Basketball Player of the Week?

We looked at schools in multiple counties and nominated eight athletes for games played from Jan. 26-Feb. 1. However, there were less games than usual over the past week due to the big snow storm.


Congratulations to last week's winner: Autumn Welch of Bowie.


We ask you to check out this week's nominees below and cast your vote.

Voting closes Sunday, Feb. 8, at 11:59 p.m. PT. The winner will be announced next week. Here are the nominees.
