Lets see what most think.

I frankly thought Laura Terry was the MVP hands down.

 

The Award says Most Valuable Player. Not Most Valuable Player on The Winning Team.

 

Just my take on the tourney.

I agree. MVP should not have to come from winning team.

I don't think the MVP has to come from the championship team.

 

A good example was the All A Classic ... no one would have argued with the selection of St. Mary's Angela Roof, who set the tournament scoring record (scored 30 or more three times) and had three double-doubles in four games. But Kenzie Rich, Monroe County's star guard, won the award ... she was also very deserving.

Laura Terry was the best player in the state tournament.

I know this is Boys Basketbal, but Didnt Richie Farmer receive it one year when Clay Co was beat by Ballard in the Championship game..

In the modern history of the Girls Tournament it has happened twice, that the MVP was from the runner-up.

 

How many people believe that if the situation was reversed and the Lady Knights lost and it was a Lex Cath girl that performed as Terry did in the tournament that she would have received it?

I feel Terry had the best tourney but I did not realize Snowden ended up with 96 points according to the paper.

Im not going to disagree with your statement. She was the best player but she didnt lead her team to the state title. So I would say no. Just my 2 cents worth

Sounds like paranoia to me.

No its just that small school syndrome. You know sorta like little man syndrome

Just to put some stats to this, like the POY Thread in the Girls Basketball Category on BGP.

 

Laura Terry 97 Pts. 24.2 PPG, 12-24 3 PT FG 50%, 32-48 FG 66.7%, 36 Reb 9 RPG, 16 Blocks, 6 Assists, 5 Steals.

 

Keyla Snowden 66 Pts. 16.5 PPG, 10-21 3 PT FG 47.6%, 18-27 FG 66.6%, 10 Reb 2.5 RPG, 0 Blocks, 0 Assists, 7 Steals.

 

Terry's performance put her in the top ten in several tournament records, including a best (6) 3 point FG in the history of the championship game.

It's not SSS. It's Central KY Media Bias Syndrome.

Yes, he did. He won it back to back in 1987 & 1988. Ballard won the 1988 title, with Clay County finishing Runner-up.

If it would have been an MOP (Most Outstanding Player), then maybe Terry has a beef; however, it is the Most Valuable Player and to me value comes in winning.
