With the 2025-26 New York high school girls basketball season getting ready to tip off, we’re featuring some of the best players in the state, Section by Section. One of our recent lists featured the best forwards in Section V.
- Top guards in Section V | Top forwards in Section V | Top centers in Section V | Top 23 players in Section V
Now we’re turning to readers to decide which forward will be the best of the best in Section V in 2025-26.
Check out the write-ups on the top forwards in Section V and vote in the poll below.
The voting will conclude Saturday, Nov. 29, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
We contacted basketball coaches across the state and asked them to fill out a survey requesting information about their team. These lists were compiled primarily based on the information provided by the coaches who chose to respond.
If you are a New York high school girls basketball coach who did not receive the survey, email bsherman@advancelocal.com. We will continue to add to these lists throughout the season.
