I believe there are five finalists.

The Courier-Journal’s Jason Frakes revealed his nominees a few weeks ago.

I know he's not on as good of a team as most the players mentioned above but Detorrion Ware from Christian County should get some consideration.

**Wireman** · Feb 16, 18, 01:15 AM

My vote would go to Faulkner.

**MentschTrachtGottLacht** · Feb 16, 18, 06:52 AM

I will be SHOCKED if Taylor is a finalist when they are named.

What criteria would you be using if you had a vote?

The 18 (i think) finalists were named. Taylor is one of the 18 -- with that many named, obviously not a surprise he is included from his region as a Co-Player of the Year.

Cobe Penny in the 8th is a joke. There are 5 players having a better yr. I’d go with Fort from Collins!

**tcjkbt** · Feb 16, 18, 07:51 AM

I believe they listed a finalist from each region, with at least one region (9th) having co-finalists.

So did the 12th.

I'd vote for one of these two.

I've been trying to get an answer as to this as well. Not to say that Trevon is not deserving of the award, but why is he and Frederick such runaways and what criteria was used to come to this determination.
