For seven years, Sport360AZ has been committed to acknowledging the best and brightest student athletes in Arizona. We are excited to introduce the Arizona All-Academic Boys Basketball Team brought to you by Arrow Awards to recognize excellence of student-athletes not only on the course but in the classroom as well.
We were overwhelmed by the response from players, coaches, athletic directors and parents and their nominations. The Sports360AZ All-Academic Boys Baskeball Team helped contribute to our biggest response for winter sports in the award’s history.
Arrow Awards is a family owned and operated business that has been a part of the Valley since 1986. Arrow Awards has decades of experience in the awards business and operate with the latest state of the art engraving equipment including laser engraving. Arrow Awards is proud to have pioneered the concept of free engraving (up to 150 characters per item purchased) influencing other trophy shops to adopt the concept in order to remain competitive in the industry. Their production is done entirely in house and rush orders can be accommodated.
Thank you so much for your nominations, and be sure to use #Sports360AZScholars when sharing these teams on social media.
