You are right Miss KY doesn't mean much. We had a memeber of our guys team get snubbed as well. But you know he probably wouldn't trade that State Tourny MVP for Mr. Basketball. Go Chels and kick some tail!!!!

 

I beg to differ. It is a GREAT honor and should not be demeaned because you felt the wrong person got it. There is only 1 each year, so it does mean something.

Pretty nice list of former Miss Basketball winners.

Listen no doubt a great honor, but I bet those who didn't win a state championship would trade the Miss/Mr. Basketball for the State Tourny MVP and a ring. Just ask Phil Cox if he would trade his 1981 Mr. Basketball for Troy McKinley's State Tourny MVP and ring. I bet he would.

Two totally and distinct things. Should be proud to have either and if someone were to get both it would be phenomenal.

Jones is helping her case. She had a nice game.

Knowing Chelsea since she was 10, I will put my two cents in! Chelsea is a phenomenal player, an excellent student and a very responsible mature young lady. She has enjoyed her basketball career and will do the Lady Pioneers proud in the Sweet Sixteen. Her choice to continue her education close to home speaks much about her. She realized half way thru her last AAU season that there are many more important things in life than basketball (a lesson many of us should remember). She quickly prioritized things and moved on. She will go far in life and Miss Basketball or not ..I will always remember her for her kindness and friendship with my daughter. You are awesome MOUSE!!

I agree - of all the high profile players there, she was by far the most effective. Good for her.

Where has Tolliver signed/committed to play her college ball?
