Cooper Flagg and Sadie Engelhardt surely have their eyes set on becoming future stars in the ACC, but they were first honored for being the best high school athletes in the country.

Flagg and Engelhardt were named the 2023-24 Gatorade Best Male and Best Female Players of the Year during Thursday's ESPYs. They were presented the honor live on stage by former Gatorade Best Female Players of the Year Candace Parker and Paige Bueckers.

Parker, Bueckers, Jayson Tatum, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Karl-Anthony Towns are just some of the notable names who have won the coveted award in the past.
