Vote: Who should be SBLive’s Central Florida Girls Basketball Player of the Week (12/11/2023)?

We looked at teams from Orange, Osceola, Lake, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard, and Indian River counties and nominated 17 athletes for the SBLive Central Florida Girls Basketball Player of the Week for Dec. 4-9, 2023.

We ask you, the fan, to decide who should the top player selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, Dec. 17, at 11:59pm and will be announced in next week’s poll.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. The poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.
