Wow. surprised no Brossart players. Maybe Kidney or Stadtmiller should be on this list?

Kidney made Div II, well deserved.

Cheerleading? Perhaps, but what Crunch-time said seems pretty factual to me. Would you not agree?

 

What's the rain situation like over there right now? I'm about to head that way.

No rain until after midnight is what the local stations are reporting. As for POY, they are both great players. I believe Lauren would shine no matter who she plays for. Same with Sydney.

Difference in the two top players is night & day. Wait til they start playing in college.

If you don't think Lauren Tibbs can compete with the best, you are wrong my friend. Other than her size, she has great hands and footwork and can flat out fill it up. I feel the same way about Miss Moss.

Moss is the better athlete and much quicker and more explosive than Tibbs. However, Tibbs is very polished, and can really shoot well for a big. They will be two different types of players in college. Tibbs may have a tougher adjustment in college, as she won't always be the tallest person on the court and will have to get used to defending taller quicker players. However, she is a hard worker, extremely coachable, and I have no doubt she will do well.

who said anything about scoring points but thank you you have made the point i was trying to get across without saying it

Doing a little cheerleading for Boone?

 

The vote is done my friend so cheerleading won't matter. Of course, I have my thought's on whom I would select, but I don't have a vote. Of course, it's much easier for you...you would select a tie between the top 6 Ryle players, and the mascot, for "POY"

Also, I may be wrong, but I'm not sure I can remember the list ever being released this early. I thought it was typically released after the region. Hopefully there aren't any hurt feeling's.

Moss thoroughly outplayed Tibbs in their matchup.

They wouldn't be guarding eachother' so that has little to do with who should be player of the year. Moss got to get her numbers against Scott players and Tibbs had to get hers against BC defense. A little tougher task. I'm not taking sides on this, just stating a fact. I like the way Moss plays more than Tibbs but both can be effective. I just like a more physical style of play. Tibbs will have to become more physical in college since she has limits athletically. Moss will have to learn to play on the perimeter moore since she will be giving up a few inches. It will be fun to watch both girls develop there games over the next four years. Good luck to both of them.

Yes, Moss played better in that game. However, Tibbs got very little help (except for Taylor Stinson, who instead of playing the post was handling the ball at the end of the year and playing out of position) all year. She was regularly tripled teamed and was still the top scorer in NKY, with no true point guard to get her the ball. And Scott probably averaged over 20 turnovers a game, which cost Tibbs probably another hundred or so points. Moss had much more help and if you turned all your attention to her, the other girls could kill you. Without Tibbs, Scott probably only wins two games all year. Boone would still be good without Moss.

I acknowledge I have a bias where this is concerned, but i will be the first to say that Sydney Moss is a phenomenal talent and is deserving of POY. I will be the first to say congratulations if she wins it this year, but please do not sell Lauren Tibbs short because of the team she played on or that she is different kind of player with a different skill set. She was POY last year in N. KY as a junior. She scored 31 last year vs Boone and over all outplayed Moss in that game. Numerous coaches from the SEC, Big East and other major conferences think that Lauren has what it takes. She has done it every year facing double and triple teaming and playing the top teams in the ninth and tenth regions. I am not suggesting that Scott's schedule totally matches Boone's each year, but they have always played the top teams in the area and certainly has not loaded up their schedule with cupcakes. Lauren has led N. KY in scoring the last two years and could very well do it again this year. Numerous coaches have commented that if Scott had consistent guard play at the point and the two spot, there is no telling what kind of numbers Lauren would have put up. I am not suggesting that Lauren "deserves" it more than Syd, only that she has had a great career and is very deserving of strong consideration and the respect of N. KY basketball coaches and fans. Good luck to both girls.

Well said Papa Bear. Anyone that knows Lauren at all knows what a class act she is on and off the court. And yes, guard play really does make a world of difference. Best of luck to Lauren in her college endeavors on and off the court.

There were times when Moss defended Tibbs and vice versa. Moss can shoot threes well, play point when needed, and dribble well, and she has a ton of assists, so I think her transition would be easy. Boone probably would only be about 500 without Moss. She has also been double and triple teamed a lot this year.

I agree that Syd has faced some double and triple teams, but Boone has the other players that force teams to play them more honest which frees Syd up more in one on one match ups. Scott does not have that and teams are able to commit to a five person in the lane zone or double and triple teams throughout the game. The transition to D1 basketball is going to be a challenge for both. Lauren adjusting to the physical play and speed and Syd playing more at the 3, facing the basket. College coaches would not spend all the time and money they do in recruiting unless they are convinced the players can make that transition. They are both going to have great college careers.

Colby,

Just curious....what is meant by this statement?
