Ally Niece (Simon Kenton) named 8th Region POY

[denniscarguy]

Congratulations to Ally on being named the 8th Region Player of the Year by the coaches as a Sophomore. What a day! Yesterday she was named POY, scored her 2000th career point and got her 2003rd point on a 3/4 shot to win the game.

Does anyone have the others named to the all region team?

So, it looks like SK only played 3 teams in the region this season. That seems really odd when you look at the number of regional games the other teams played. Very interesting statistic.

More were scheduled, but not played. Furthermore, I've been following this program for about 7 years, and I cannot recall Anderson or Shelby or any of the Oldhams coming to Independence to play. SK has gone to Shelby in that period.

The way it was explained to me was that rather than fill the schedule with games against regional opponents, some that are on the "2nd tier" ( no disrespect to any of the teams in the region), they chose to try and fill it with the best competition the state had to offer, i.e. ETown, Mercer, Mason Co., Lincoln Co., all teams in the top 20 in the state. They feel to be the best you have to play the best, and it would also help them come tournament time. We will find out shortly if this philosophy works out!
