This topic may have already come across the board. I apologize for repeating it if so.
I'll preface this by stating that these players are all great. I know 2 of the 3 personally and they are fantastic kids. I've know both coaches for a very long time and consider both to be friends and great coaches.
But….
Whats up with 3 kids being named Player of the Year in the Central Region? Lowry, Childress, Boyle
And...
Whats up with 2 coaches being named Coach of the Year in the Central Region? Dragum and Hicks
All 3 players are very deserving and both coaches are very deserving! But does it possibly diminish the singularity of the honor of being named the POY if they are going to name 2 other kids? Isn't that what the "All Region Team" is for?
A friend of mine summed it up. Its high school sports, which means everyones a winner!
And to add a little curve ball to the equation, the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Virginia is not listed as 1 of the 3 POY in the region. Huh? Congrats to Nathan Kirby for that award. Quite an accomplishment.
