Why do you bite mail?

Maybe that's how postage worked back in Papa's day. 

It was a great game.  I thought Evangel was pulling away and the Indians fought back. It seemed like Evangel missed a lot of free throws at the end which helped.  When Meyer drove with just a few seconds left I thought for sure it was going in and sending it to OT.  What was interesting was that everyone thought it was over but the ref had called a foul on HC with one second left.  Great heads up play by Ambrosio to keep the game alive and then when Evangel only made one of two the Indians had a chance to tie it with a long three but the inbounds pass from Ambrosio to Smith was a little high.  It would have been an over half court shot but they still at least had a chance.  Nice run by the Indians.  So close to the sweep. 

There's been some debate about this (not much locally of course).

Should you give the tournament MVP to a player who breaks game and tournament scoring records but whose team did not win the tournament (Jacob Meyer of Holy Cross). 

Or should you give the MVP to a player who leads the tournament champion in scoring every game (Christian Doerr of Evangel Christian).

Meyer won MVP. Evangel Christian won the tournament.

I have no dog in this. I'm just interested in knowing if anybody believed Doerr should have been named MVP (he was named all-tournament) even though Meyer's credentials were obvious. Or is Meyer's performance so historically stupefying that's it's kinda dumb to even bring this up.

I would have given it to Doerr and not thought twice about it.  I'm also certain I'm in the minority, at least among my fellow NKY residents.  

? Congratulations to the Eagles, tournament champs, what a terrific title game!

That's... a trophy.

This award should be renamed, from MVP TO MOP,  most outstanding player.  That gets rid of the debate for every tournament.

I guess it depends how you look at the award.  Who was most valuable to their team?  Easy without Meyer HC doesn’t even make it past regionals much less the state finals . Evangel had much more even scoring, but personally I think it should go to someone from the winning team.

Bottom line give it to the best player on the court!!
