Remember When: Eagle-Tribune Boys Basketball MVPs

Remember When: Eagle-Tribune Boys Basketball MVPs revisits a history of local Massachusetts boys basketball honors and the athletes who earned Eagle-Tribune Player of the Year recognition. The article notes recent split awards in two of the past three winters, including Josh Roux (Andover) and Javi Lopez (Central Catholic) for the most recent season, and Zach Wolinski (North Andover) and Jackson Marshall (Pinkerton Academy) in 2024. It also tracks how several MVPs continued into college or beyond, citing Aidan Cammann, a redshirt junior at Stanford, and that Marshall is playing baseball for UConn with potential MLB draft attention. Earlier winners are recalled as well, starting with Tom Quinlan in 1990, while Stephen Savage is highlighted for delivering a wire-to-wire run and a late game winner to secure the 2006-07 Division I state title for Salem. The piece also describes the influence of multi-time winners and notable height extremes among recipients.
