Do both players make All Region if these are the top 2 scorers in the region?

How many players make all region? If it is just 5, perhaps not. Stats by themselves do not tell the story on these players nor on the other players in the region. For example, the leading scorer in the state of Kentucky plays for Covington Latin School in the 9th region. He averages around 28 points a game. He won't make the top 10 all region team in the 9th region.

Depends on many factors, the main one would be if player A and/or B earned the respect and recognition of the rest of the coaches in their respective region.

Absolutely not enough info to make the call. Does player A play on a weak team against weaker opponents or player B? Need more facts to answer the ultimate question.

Let me guess? Player A is Cody Chambers at Simon Kenton and player B is Tyler Carr at Grant County.

Agree, You can't just go by stats to determine recognitation like all region team.

Nice, looks like you did your homework!

Both schools post their stats on KHSAA.com.

Chambers has played against much tougher competition than Carr. Based on that, Chambers has the head-to-head edge.

Defensive skills?

Carr and Hunt both had quality years. Sampson from SK, Stone brothers from Collins, Gibson from Carroll, Haysley from South Oldham, Alexander from Trimble, etc. There are always quality players that get left off.

What he said, plus Chambers is the leader on a much better team. A lot more than stat's go into a thing like this.

Agree. Carr is a very good player and I would imagine that he got some votes and being only a sophomore I wouldn't be suprised to see him make All Region in the future.

There is much much more to the game of basketball then offensive scoring stats. Just because a player from any team (boys, girls, middle school, high school, college, NBA) takes the majority of their teams shots, doesn't make them a great basketball player. It will, more times then not, make them the leading scorer but not necessarily "All Region". Too many players, parents and coaches place so much emphasis on offensive stats that they completely forget about who's playing defense, blocking shots, deflecting passes, going after loose balls, creating turnovers, communicating with teammates, rebounding, encouraging younger players and a stat that isn't even listed on KHSAA......ASSISTS! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to devalue their offensive accomplishments because both of the players listed in this thread are fine ballplayers and I'm sure, great kids. I'm not sure how or who chooses "All Region" players but I would like to think that they choose players based on who they feel has (as close to) the complete package. But one thing I know for sure is....good players do some of these things well but great players do all of these things well. Iverson could score 50 and lose.....yet Jordan has 6 rings!
