I think Frey was the Player of the Year, I also think he should receive serious consideration for Athlete of the Year. First Team All Section Football, Basketball starter and team captain, Player of the Year in Section in baseball, and first team all section.Captain of all three sports!
matt pierpont is a better all around baseball player than frey. who cares about the other sports when the award in question is the baseball player of the year. as far as baseball goes, the talent isn't even close. and i'm not from canon mac either.
Frey should be ATHLETE of the year no question. But Pierpont was a fair choice for baseball player of the year.
ok lets all congradulate frey for being athlete of the year- guess i don't have to wait and see
Pierpont as player of the year is a bit of a joke. He was not even the most valuable player on his own team. That honor belonged to D.J. Michalski. And the idea of Pierpont riding last year's momentum is also a joke. He was not even the premium name on that team. Murphy, Dittmar, Hull, Douglas, and Hayden all overshadowed Pierpont. Not to say Pierpont did not perform well, but he was a "role" player on that team.
This is 3 years in a row that the O-R has ignored the character of the individual in selecting their P.O.Y. Maybe Canon-Mac should send Pierpont a paycheck since apparently he ran all of the practices and subsequently ran the team into the ground!
It is Player of the Year. Not Humanitarian of the Year.
I think Frey and his family should spend more time on his game and less time on here touting him. Clearly the only ones that think he should win are him and his family.
Don't start on Frey and his family. If you know them they are good people. For as long as I have known them they keep their mouths shut and let their kids enjoy sports. Kids will be kids. We have all done things that we are not proud of and if he has had a beer then so be it. Be it illegal, don't judge. Nobody that is breathing air today is perfect. Check your hands and that should prove that!
I think Pierpoint is going to end up at Duquesne by this time next year. I think his ego requires that he be the big fish in a small pond and there are probably 30 Matt Pierpoint's at Winthrop. Duquesne is a terrible program and he can be a star right away there.
Mike nice comment? Maybe you need to have that part in your selection process. It can't hurt.
