RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Lincolnton's Sage Surratt and Clinton's Mikayla Boykin are the Associated Press high school basketball players of the year in North Carolina.
Surratt earned seven of a possible 14 votes from sports writers statewide to earn the men's award in results released Friday. Boykin had 12 votes for the women's award.
Both players headlined the AP all-state team announced earlier this week and joined Northside Jacksonville men's coach Tony Marshburn and Northern Guilford women's coach Kim Furlough as individual award winners.
Surratt is the first player to win AP player of the year awards in both football and men's basketball.
