I don't understand. Kind of disappointed. All in today's Enquirer.

I guess we should have seen it coming with his stats. Still think Austin deserves it. But congrats to Corey anyways.

Great job Corey! Pelle wasn't even rated in the top ten in the 10th Region going into the season and was ranked 10th in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties. This is a great example of how dedicating yourself over the summer pays off! I just can't wait to hear everyone complain that Corey did this against weak competiton. Ask Brossart and Mike Code about Corey. If that isn't enough ask Carl Kremer from Moeller-the Trains played them over the summer and Pelle had around 30. And if that isn't enough, ask Beckham, Pettigrew and the rest of Derek Smith All Stars. I witnessed Pelle have 28 pts and 10 assists against them this summer. The best all around player got this award.

He did do it against a weak schedule.

I admit I didn't see him, but that's a big claim. There's some VERY good talent around.

I also agree it is like someone from Royals in MLB winning MVP

As for SG's schedule I think some people need their eyes opened. You are only allowed to play 23 games (2 tourneys can count for 1 game each), so basically 21 regular season games. SG is bound to 14 conference games in the NKAC (Beechwood, Ludlow, etc.) Also, they must play every team in the district once. They already play Calvary in the NKAC, so that leaves Brossart, Scott and Campbell. So now your are up to 17 games. That leaves St. Pat, Pendleton, Bracken and Deming (all 10th region teams). Many of you don't realize SG only has 79 students in the high school and every team they play is bigger than them and they are bound to 17 games every year. That is why their coach scheduled Moeller, Turpin, Finneytown, Holmes, Boone, Dixie, NewCath, Highlands, Lou. Manuel, etc. over the summer. They competed with all of them. As for Corey, I personally witnessed him have 26 points and 10 assists against the Derek Smith West AAU that included Pettigrew, Beckham, Beaumont, etc.

 

In addition, they beat a McLean Co. team that would have been in the top 10 in N. KY and played well for 3 quarters against Bowling Green (in which Pelle had 29 thru 3 quarters). The top 8 players had just played 3 weeks earlier vs. CovCath in the football finals-so they were obviously very talented and athletic.

 

Pelle scored more outside of their small school conference than he did in. I just can't wait to watch him play with guys as talented as he is.

 

As for Hill, the only he has on Corey is an inch or 2, and 20 pounds. Other than that, Corey is a much better ballhandler, shooter and defender. You may be suprised, but Pelle is more athletic-as he had 20 dunks on the season.

I guess we should have seen it coming with his stats. Still think Austin deserves it. But congrats to Corey anyways.

 

 

Pelle or Hill both are good choices, probably could have been a co-player of the year situation.

 

I think some of the other picks are a little more questionable.

 

Mike Hester is a great player when healthy but he wasn't healthy all year and he didn't warrant a first team selection.

 

Scott High only gets two representatives after the season they had? How can you take Jimmy Ryan, Alex Hall,Jordan Griffin, Luke Mace or Joe Flanigan over Ryne Smith or Danny Miller?:confused:

 

Selections should be based on actual performance and not reputation or potential.

I don't think the summer was taken into consideration. There were many players with many dunks on the season. That does not make you more athletic. Jacobs, Rice, Hill, Hester, Kurd, Kiernan could have put up better #'s than Pelle with that schedule. I don't mean to knock him as a player cause he obviously is but if he played the comp the rest of the above mentioned players have to deal with night in night out those numbers Pelle put up would be rather diminished.

Bulldog Tech I agree that Pelle's regular season numbers (guys summer never counts for anything so that is a moot point) would not be the same if he played Holmes' schedule or was surrounded by talent that Hill had. That being said I have no problem with Pelle winning it. I am one that feels he would be just as good no matter what school he played for.

He did do it against a weak schedule.

 

A better question might be what would Corey have done with Austin's surrounding cast? Obviously both are very talented players, and I congratulate them both, and the others honored by this selection!!

Scott High only gets two representatives after the season they had? How can you take Jimmy Ryan, Alex Hall,Jordan Griffin, Luke Mace or Joe Flanigan over Ryne Smith or Danny Miller?

 

Was a whole team put out by the enquirer? Or was they player of the year award the only one given out?

And based on THIS year's performances, not past heroics?? As always with these teams, some arguments can be made, especially with the honorable mentions. For example, should players who played very little due to injuries, etc. be mentioned above those who performed night-in, night-out??

The Royals play the top teams in the American League.
