Who will be 10th Region player of the year this year?

If you go off of stats it's Bailey Cummins. If you go off of the player that does the most all around but doesn't get the points you could argue Jordan Frodge, Taylor Clos, Whitney O'Mara, Kylie Krammer or even Maddie Boone.

How can you say it's not even close. That's a bold statement.

Right wrong or indifferent this is a statistical driver award. Bailey puts up the best stats night in and night out. Most of the time facing double and triple teams and all kinds of junk defenses thrown at her and still is averaging 21 and 6 a night. Went over 2000 points this season, lead her team to its second straight All A State Tournament, just unfortunate draw this time around.

 

Not to mention she is a senior and I believe this is a senior award?

Wow, could not disagree more. Even in our own region we have a Creech vs Boley type thing... There's a reason that most MVP's (NFL,NBA,etc) are given out to players from the teams that win championships. When a girl plays on a team that doesn't have a strong supporting cast, and plays weaker competition (Creech) doesn't make her better than other players who lead their teams to higher success (Boley). Not only will Boley easily win Miss Basketball KY, but could win the top player in the US award, because people recognize she's a better overall player than Creech. This same thinking should hold true in the region too, yes? At this point Bracken probably won't even make it out of the district and you want to give the regional POY to their best player. I've seen the Beechwood girl mentioned in other threads for the 9th POY, the same should be true there also. Consider the Igo girl at MoCo, she's averaging almost 20pts a game , why wouldn't she be in the convo? When a girl is relied upon so heavily like these girls mentioned they are certainly their TEAM MVP, but regionally, no way.

 

Certainly Bailey should be in the conversation cause she is a great player. But what Frodge/O'Mara or Clos/Jolly do for their teams to have great success is valuable because their teams are better. I don't have a problem with Bailey being one of the candidates and I think she should, but to dismiss all others is silliness and undermines your credibility to speak/argue fairly for the best player in 10th this year.

Also, you have to look at the competition they play every game. From my count, they have played 13 of their 24 games against teams that are less than .500 on the season.

I guess we will see. I've yet to hear an answer on if this is a senior award or not.

 

A case could be made for a lot of girls. Never said otherwise, just saying from a statistical standpoint she is the frontrunner And if it were not for the unfortunate draw they could be a tough out in the region. We all know Mason is the best TEAM and Campbell is a close 2nd but just because it s the best TEAM doesnt mean they have the best PLAYER.

POY should be a member off of the Mason Co or Campbell Co team.

 

If I recall correctly the Lady Royals completely shut Bailey down. Crazy what happens when you play good opponents isn't it?

Yes to Senior only award

Thanks.

Now that is known what other SENIOR is putting up the numbers to compete with Cummins?

 

Not such a close race now is it?

Humorous, at best.

If statistics were how the POY awards were given out then Whitney Creech would be given the Naismith (POY for the US) award hands down. But she's not good enough to play at a top 20 college...

 

When Bracken faces top competition Baileys stats are limited, percentages are lower (these type of players just shoot more than anyone else). The Beechwood girl has the same thing happen. I think the 9th has it worse. The top players on NCC and Beechwood are not nearly as good players as the top players on Holmes, Ryle, Highlands and NDA's teams.

Kylie Krammer and Taylor Jolly are both seniors as well as Emily Schultz.
