Congratulations to all the girls selected for this team.

First of, congratulations to all these athletes.

 

One question that popped of the page was why isn't senior Hannah Stephenson from SK first team? Nothing against her team mate Abby Owens and congratulations to Abby for making the honor, but if anyone from SK is on first team, for me it has to be Hannah Stephenson. IMO, she was one of the most underrated guards and scorers in the 8th region and N KY. She has been a starter and a major part of SK's offense for a long time. For me, I would have put Hannah first team. JMO

 

Also, I realize not everyone can make HM, however, comparing other players to the current HM field, there would be at least a couple more that I would have liked to seen mentioned.

Disappointed that Heather Jolley of Pendleton Co who was 2nd team All 10th Region cannot even garner an HM by Enquirer.

I would say that who ever helped Skinner put together the list, probably did not get a chance to see her play.

Just for transparency sake, when I was doing the list I did the girls first and didn't think we were including Pendleton County (for the record I think we should include Pendleton, Carroll, Gallatin and Owen, but we haven't always in the past). I then asked when I was doing the boys because I have seen Mason Monroe play and knew he should be a first-team if we were and when I was told yes on Pendleton I included them for the boys, but didn't go back and add Heather to HM....
