The Baltimore Catholic League is one with history and has a long resume of great teams/players who have gone on to play at the highest of levels. What are my predictions for All League Teams, POY, Defensive Player of the Year and more? Let’s take a look.
BCL Player of the Year:
Amani Hansberry Amani Hansberry 6'7" | C Mount St. Joseph | 2023 State #52 Nation MD | Mount St. Joe ’23
It’s to no surprise that Hansberry gets the nod here. The reigning BCL Tournament MVP will look to wreak havoc on the league once again as he has added more tools to his game throughout the summer. The future Illinois forward will prevail as the league’s player of the year in 2022-23.
