coach33 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Any glaring problems here. 1. Trey Beutel is from Beechwood. 2. Beechwood over the last two years with this senior class is 28-0. Are in the top 10 in the state in Defense in point allowed per game. They are playing straight up man to man 99% of the time, and they do not get defensive player of the year, or player of the year, or even Mr Hustle. They have a player who nearly averaged a double/double agaisnt DIII and didn't even make the team, somethings smells bad along the river and it isn't the water!! 3. Those boys deserved better! :deadhorse:

Not only is he second in nky in points scored with over 500 on the year, but he also led his team to the State All "A" tournament. IMO all of the awards were well deserved.

How can Blake Bryan not be the POY in D3. He is the leading scorer in the State of KY????? If Bryan doesn't get it I do understand the selection of Flannigan also. He led Calvary to the best year in school history.
Eta Rho Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 On a side note, this is the third year in a row that Holmes has had the D1 POY and defensive POY: 08/09- Ricardo Johnson 07/08- Arrez Henderson 06/07- Austin Hill

If Bryan doesn't get it I do understand the selection of Flannigan also. He led Calvary to the best year in school history. A lot of it has to do with the success of Flanigan AND his team. If it were simply a stat based award, Ricardo Johnson wouldn't have won the D1 POY either since Pittman averages more points than him and is the leading D1 scorer in NKY. Both Ricardo and Flanigan are what take their teams to that next level though, which is the reason for their recognition as being the best player in their division. Again, I see all of these awards as being well deserved by those mentioned.
pastmyprime Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I was somewhat surprised Grant Pangallo didn't get the D 2 Mr. Hustle award. In the few times I have seen them play, he doesn't stop. He is consistently diving on the floor/stands, taking charges, etc. I can't really think of a better candidate. However, I have only seen Anderson a few times, so I don't want to take anything away from him.

He's been in and out of the starting line up all season. He has taken full advantage of his first year full year on varsity and played very well. I actually thought he would be a finalist but also thought St. Henry senior Joey Swikert was just as deserving.
MJAlltheWay24 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Congrats to the players...nice to see McFarland make the All-Star list, and also Andrew Brown win the Academic Award. I know his older brother...great family.
Baseballguy Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Congrats to all of these young men.:thumb:

What exactly are you trying to insinuate?
Voice of Reason Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I find it hard to believe Romes is not the best defensive player in Div. III. Beyond that, it is hard for me to argue with any other pick in any of the divisions.
