* Through 2006, girls basketball was a fall sport. Beginning in 2007, the sport was moved to the winter with seasons beginning in one calendar year and ending in the following year. Thus, no award was given in 2007 although the honor has been awarded annually since 1981. The 2006 award covered the 2006–2007 school year while the 2007–2008 school year was covered with the 2008 award.
