The Springfield News-Leader is proud to announce its 2022-23 Dominant Dozen — honoring the 12 most impactful players of the high school basketball season.

The players were picked based on in-season production, News-Leader observations and consultations with high school basketball coaches from across the area. Statistics and other data were provided by coaches.

Springfield-area members of the Dominant Dozen are all finalists for the News-Leader's boys' high school basketball player of the year honor — which will be revealed Tuesday. The News-Leader will reintroduce its All-Ozarks teams on Wednesday which will also include large- and small-school coach of the year honors.
