Given to the high-school MVP — the one kid out of ten who outplayed his minutes against the legends and the players running it now. Voted by the squads. Engraved with the name of every winner before him.
Every roster carries one high schooler — same jersey, same minutes as the legends and the pros beside him. Ten kids on ten floors, all weekend.
It isn't about stat-padding. It's the kid who held his own against grown men, made the right read in the big moment, and refused to look like the youngest one out there.
No panel, no popularity contest. The players who shared the floor with him decide. The legends and the now pick the one who earned it.
The kid who wins it doesn't just get hardware. He gets proof he belonged on the floor with the ones who came before — and a head start on the ones coming after. Same jersey. Same minutes. Now his name on the plate.
Coaches, parents, and squads can put a high schooler in the pool. Nominations close the week of the run.
