The poll has ended. Congrats to Henry Clay’s Aziel Blackwell.

Thanks for voting. See you next week.

Each week, we highlight some of the best high school individual performances in Central Kentucky for the Kentucky.com Boys’ Basketball Player of the Week. They were selected from games in the Central Kentucky area, including teams in the 11th Region and Bourbon, Clark, Jessamine and Woodford counties, by digital sports writer Jared Peck (@HLpreps) via stats uploaded to KHSAA.org by noon each Monday.

Voting ends at 1 p.m. Friday.

Here are this week’s nominees presented in alphabetical order. Vote for your favorite.

Miss someone? If you’d like to nominate a player’s performance for future weeks, or believe a deserving nominee is missing from this week’s poll, email Jared Peck at jpeck@herald-leader.com. Remember, if your team doesn’t regularly report stats to the KHSAA, we can’t find your favorite player.
