What, you can't find one good player from Wash County to be player of year so you have to name so kid from Allgheny County who averaged only 15 points per game? Why not name TJ McConnell - he's from Allegheny County?
It's not the Washington County Player of the year ... It's the Observer-Reporter Player of the Year. All teams from our coverage area are eligible.
So, anon, postseason honors are all about points per game average to you?
It's obvious that the first anonymous doesn't know a lot about the game.
He'd obviously rather have a player who averaged a bunch of points for a crappy team than the best player on a state championship club.
Mike,
Seem's like you based girls pick on points. Like you said-you can"t see all the games and have to depend on jaded reports from the school.
I don't really agree that the girls team was based on points. Everyone on the third-team out-scored two members of the second, but those two players were from Peters Township, which had a nice playoff run. That also probably boosted Matthis onto the first-team.
Player of Year probably was. If you don't watch games you don't know she won't play defense. Not that she can't,just won't-can't get fouls and have to sit.That's the problem with these awards-you just don't see the whole player.Also coaching has a lot to do with it-or lack of it.
While Sowers' scoring average was factor into the decision, it was not the sole basis. Matthis was the other consideration and she didn't average 11 points per game.
You can find flaws in any high school player, particularly from Western Pennsylvania but I want to ask Casual a couple things.
Assuming you saw as many different teams as I did, talked with others who covered local teams like I did and spoke with local coaches about the best players as I did, who would you come up with?
Personally, I thought girls basketball was down this year. That's not the fault of anyone who made the all-district team but it certainly lacked the standout, Division I talents we've featured in the past.
Mike,
I couldn't agree more on girls basketball being down in this area. Probably as bad as it's been in years. Your choice was probably the correct one but I just found it funny that you asked in a previous post if someone thought point scoring was the most important factor. There were slim pickings this year for sure.
Alfon Cook is only a sophomore. He is is going to turn the ball over 10 times in AAAA. Ringgold will be ok in AAA and Stine will be a big part of it. I still beleive Ringgold's best player is a healthy Zack Smith.
wolcott should have been player of year he faced AAAA defenses not AA
First of all ,thank you for selecting an All-District team.Is it going to be printed in the newspaper ?
The All-District basketball teams ran Saturday, April 10 (girls) and Sunday, April 11 (boys).
