With the regular season being over, who do you think earned the top spot in each category?
Categories are underneath but I'll begin throwing some names of HS kids and Middle School kids I've seen...
Best Defender - This is the person who showed outstanding effort on the defensive end of the court and made the big defensive plays when needed.... High School - Jaquan Johnson, Eddie Cowan, Ashton Cooksey-Easter, Devin Thomas, DJ Polacheck, Matt Banas Middle School - Tyrece Little, Elyjah Camp, Chris Henderson, Justin Henry, Deron Jennings, Ahkee Cowan
Best Play Maker - This is the person who did a great job getting others involved in the game.... He may have been able to score more points but chose to create for others... High School - Eddie Cowan, Nick Seefilt, Christo Majok, Jaquan Johnson, Haiisheen McIntyre Middle School - Elyjah Camp, Austin Gilbertson, Jojo Headen, Chris Whitaker, Ahkee Cowan, Nehemiah Mack, Casey Caruso
Top Rebounder - This is for the person who controlled the boards on a consistent basis for their team...
High School - Devin Thomas, Harold Brantley, Matt Aikey, Colton Lewis, Jared Deibler, Aris Scott Middle School - Chris Henderson, Nehemiah Mack, Nick Ramsey, Noah Spikart, Tyrece Little
Mr. Hustle - This is for the person who got those 50/50 balls, got back on defense, or even the guy who is willing to dive out of bounds and on the ground for loose balls.... High School - DJ Polacheck, Ashton Cooksey-Easter, Tim Kile, Trent Zimmerman, Sielr Johnson Middle School - Tyrece Little, Justin Henry, Chris Henderson, Jaqui Jenkins, Elyjah Camp, Ahmir Wright

High School - Anthony Wright, Milik Gantz, James Ezel, Dom Antenelli, Joe Marshall Middle School - Nehemiah Mack, Morgan Keiser, James Williams, Derrick Ford, Elyjah Camp, Tyrece Little, Tim Kater, Casey Caruso
Top 6th man - This is a guy who could be a starter but is willing to play the role of coming off the bench. This person plays a major role in the success of his team and could also be a JV player... High School - Milik Gantz, Daquan Ware, Jahaad Proctor, Siele Johnson
Most Improved Player - This goes to the guy who showed the most improvement from either last year to this year or from the beginning of the season, to the end of the season... High School - Colton Lewis, Eddie Cowan, Reggie Dudley, Donte Vaughn, Ryan Beaver, Mark Perry, Jason McElwe Middle School - Jordan Gillis, Tyrece Little, Trey Wilkerson, Grey Hess, Ahmir Wright
Most Outstanding Player - This goes to the person who has the best regular season and their team had a successful regular season.... If the team doesn't make the playoffs, the kid isn't eligible for the award... This person comes up big in big games as well.... High School - Devin Thomas, Haiisheen McIntyre, Matt Banas, Aaron Devan, Reggie Dudley, Mike Zangari Middle School - Nehemiah Mack
Playoff M.O.P. - Best player in the playoffs.... Period!!! Coming soon!!!!

JC Brandt should be included in the Mr Hustle.
ReplyDeleteI agree... good one...
DeleteBest Defender: Nick Seefeldt-held Devan to nothing two games, stopped East's Dudley two games, held JC to nothing two games, etc, etc.
ReplyDeleteBest Playmaker: Nick Seefeldt-could easily score 18 PPG but was asked to make everyone else better and definitely did.
Top Rebounder: Devin Thomas, duh?
Top Prospect: Little Wilson, Cumberland Valley PG.
MOP: Devin Thomas, Duh?
Most Improved: Colton Lewis-came from no where to lead CC.
No argument with the Devin picks, and even the Colton Lewis pick.... I don't think your other picks are as clear cut as you make it seem....
DeleteNo point guard in mid Penn can hold jaquan Johnson!!!!! put your money were your mouth is!!!!!!!! yeah i said !!! sincerely , marlin brannon
DeleteYou heard it here first!!! Anyone up for the challenge?
DeleteMr. anonymous say ur name....... seefeldt can't hold jaquan Johnson that's a real pg lock down defender.... Tired of hearing all this rapp about this pg and that pg put ur money were mouth is cause i will!!!!!!!
DeleteJohnson is very under rated.... He has the ability to be a double digit scorer. Total. Team player.... Now I've seen him shut guards down....
Deletehow can you say a guy whom shoots 98 percent of the time he has the ball is a play maker for others do you even truly know the assist per game ratio how can you also judge a players true defensive skills when most teams sit in zones
ReplyDeletePlay making doesn't mean "just passing".... It's a person who can "MAKE PLAYS".... It can be for himself and others as well....
DeleteWhen you say "assist per game ratio", what do you mean? If there's a ratio, the assist has to be compared to something. Do you mean assist per turnover ratio or just assist per game?
Also, playing zone doesn't mean you don't play defense... That's the problem with most kids in the area... but, the kids I have on the list have locked it up with guys man to man many of times....
LOL....names of your staff voting?
ReplyDeleteWhat does it matter??? I'm assuming you're either a "D1 prospect" who isn't on a list or the parent of a "D1 prospect" who didn't make the list...
DeleteI agree with you on a playmaker doing it for him self is a playmaker but your on words were making others on the floor with you better impossible if they are standing around watching which is my second reasoning inregards to assist per game this is highschool i get that so we wont get in to turn over ratio but assist ,getting your team to spots on floor calling plays setting defensive assignments along with the physical and athletic part of game thats all part of playmakers along with to much more to mention my point if your job is scoring i get that every team has there primary but calling them playmakers making others better by watching i respectfully disagree. keep up the good work your information on ball in our area is definitely needed
ReplyDeleteremember, I'm just throwing names out there.... There's I like to hear what you guys think....
