Would have loved to see Gallatin's Autumn Bowen make the All 8th Region team. I believe she is GC 's second leading scorer, second leading rebounder, and either first or second in assists. She has been a key to the success GC has had this season.

I will. I will.

 

Morgan Simpson - Walton Verona. Has had a tremendous season against one of the more difficult schedules in the 8th region. At least the most road games!

 

Rachel Montgomery - Williamstown. Also has had a tremendous season and Williamstown has arguably played a harder schedule than Trimble and Henry.

 

These are just two that really jump out at me from this part of the region. There could be more.

 

Before someone gets on me...I am not taking anything away from any player that received the honor. I am only giving props to a couple of players that I think have proven to fit right in this list of players and have probably just slipped through the cracks.

Good players that both do a lot for their respective teams.

She is certainly another one.

Those are 3 good ones that really do a lot for their teams. Morgan has had a really great year as well as Autumn and Rachel. Those 3 are very deserving. Congrats to all the girls that made the team.

 

Question, Do the coach's vote on the coach as well? I would assume so but just wondering. Congrats to Coach Stowers.

Well spill it who's not on the list that should be?

 

Erin Wilson from South Oldham has had huge performances of late and has numerous good games against region opponents Appears to be ahead of some on the list. Guess reputation may have as much influence as statistics. Does each coach present a list of their nominees for coaches to consider?

I recall watching Erin play earlier this season and she had a stellar game that night. Wasn't sure of her season stats until I just looked.......going by just stats, she leads South Oldham in practically every category. Seems that some coaches went the reputation factor IMO!! And No, coaches don't present a list to other coaches to consider!!

She was also 14th in the region in rebounding! Not sure what the committee was thinking about. First team was stacked but we could probably list a second team and would make for a heck of a ball game!

Interesting- which gets to thought process as to how do some of these coaches even vote for players if they never play against them. Yes I know they talk to each other but in this situation, with first year coaches, South was at a distinct disadvantage IMO, and averages do not always tell the whole story. Wilson leads in scoring then VanZant (both at 13+ ppg) then Jones with 11 ppg. But look at the shot attempts- how many more the top two take as compared to their averages. Jones draws the best defender in most games, especially within the district, which opens up the lane for driving. Kind of the Coach Cal analogy regarding efficiency and productivity and what you do without the basketball never gets tracked.

 

All three of these South seniors are top 15 in the region based on talent and skill but voting will never come out that way. Happy for those that made it and sad for those who were also deserving but were over looked. Go get em' in the district and region tournaments. Success there is more important!

Hannah Dossett can play on any team in any region! Got to see her last year and was very impressed! Different kind of athlete!

Congrats to Hannah and the rest of these young ladies. As always, love watching Hannah play. Always plays with heart and leaves everything on the court. What every coach wishes to have, I'm sure!

It's a great honor for these girls and All are deserving!! But as always this list hasn't in the past and probably never will reflect the Best players in the Region as a whole.

Perfectly said!

Will there be an All 9th Region Team?

I believe each region does things differently. Might be a good question for a new thread.

Congrats to Hannah for sweeping the coaches POY as well as KABC POY!
