Miss Basketball (Ms. Basketball) is an award given to the best high school girls basketball player in many U.S. states.[1]
History and terminology
[edit | edit source]The spread of state-level Miss Basketball awards coincided with rapid growth in girls’ interscholastic sports participation after Title IX in 1972.[2]
Early adopters included Kentucky (first Miss Kentucky Basketball named in 1976),[3] and Indiana (first Indiana Miss Basketball in 1976).[4] Minnesota followed in 1978,[5] and Michigan’s coaches association began naming Miss Basketball in 1981.[6]
