I'm not criticizing by any means but what are the odds of that? And how did Ray Spalding get that many votes?

 

He's one of the best players in the state/country. He deserves to be recognized as such.

Curious how you got this list?

 

There are a couple of coaches who had players on this list and hadn't checked their emails yet.

I got the girls list today from our high school coach.

He's one of the best players in the state/country. He deserves to be recognized as such.

 

He's one of the best college prospects in the state/country. His latest stats report is 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Perry is averaging 21.7 and 6.4. Sutton is averaging 23.8 and 11.5.

 

Don't let the high school averages get in the way though.

I stand corrected. Our girls coach shot me an e-mail that a player from our school was POY.

Carson Williams did not win KABC 8th Region Player of the Year.

 

Hayden Hawes of Oldham County did.

 

Just to clarify, like I seem to do every year at this time, to be eligible to win KABC Regional Player of the Year you must meet the following criteria.

 

1. Be a Senior

2. At least one of your coaches, head or assistant, must be a member of the KABC.

 

Here are this years winners.

Once again this is a senior award. Congrats to all winners who are deserving. All KABC Players of the Year and Runner Up Players of the Year are invited to play in the KABC East/West All Star Game which takes place the weekend of the state tournament at Transy.

 

Congrats to Dwayne Sutton, Jalen Perry, James Bolden, Drew McDonald, Matt Rose, and Cameron Justice.... Travelers are well represented! Congrats to all other POY's as well!

I don't let high school averages get in the way and neither do some of the KABC members.

 

Nathan Dieudonne of Trinity won Mr. Basketball in 2012. He averaged 13.9 points and 6.8 rebounds a game.

My vote would go to Jalen Perry this season but Spalding is a tremendous prospect.

I think I really would vote for David Simmons for the whole shebang.

So let me ask this. If ray won Mr. Basketball, would you all be disappointed, upset?

Not in the slightest.

Nope. He deserves to be a finalist and if he wins he is also deserving of that IMO.
