Hansen Anderson Basketball announces the 2025 Mr. & Miss Basketball
For the forty-eigth year Hansen-Anderson will name Mr. Basketball as selected by the state’s basketball coaches.
Each year in South Dakota more than 3,500 young men and women play varsity basketball. Of that group, roughly one thousand four hundred are seniors. Hansen Anderson Basketball recognizes just 22 of these seniors, or about two tenths of one percent who have been chosen by the state’s coaches to be considered for the title of Miss or Mr. Basketball. Clearly this is an elite group!
