P.O.Y. CANDIDATES IN EACH CONFERENCE THROUGH MID-SEASON

[danicalifornia]

You are correct, Rowe did get his 1,000th point, but I would say Kelley could be the leading scorer as he has carried alot of the scoring load this year and Alley is the leading rebounder. Alot of credit to these three seniors who are getting the job done for the Falcons this year.

First off, you are incorrect, Rowe is the leading scorer for the Falcons right now with Kelley next in line. As for rebounds, Rowe is the leading rebounder not Alley.
I'm not on here to debate you eyeswideopen voicing my personal opinion based on facts. It sounds like you're a jealous parent who thinks their kid is entitled since you just signed up for your account today and it just so happens that your only two posts are on this subject. I am very proud of these boys and hate to see them go because watching these boys has really brought joy into my life and I look forward to attending their games. So unless you're a coach don't get on here trying to start trouble.

Overreact much? "Jealous parent"? And now opinions aren't allowed unless you are a coach?

One of the biggest overreactions I've ever seen on here lol. It seemed the poster being ripped was just trying to give credit to the entire senior class of the Falcons.

Athens Griffin Lutz
25.3 points 10.2 rebounds 5.1 assists 2.1 blocks 2.4 steals

I think his blocks are closer to 4 a game but not much data on that stat

Outstanding contributions to his team

With Wheelersburg beating the Falcons Saturday night and putting themselves in a very good position for the SOC running at this point in the season maybe the player of the year is on the Wheelersburg team.

[ColonelSanders]

Rolfe or Rowe or Co-POY for SOCII.

Rolfe or Rowe or Co-POY for SOCII.

I agree with that. The big question is, who gets it for SOC I?

Brown? King? Leist? Turner?

[ColonelSanders]

I'd say if East wins the league, Brown will probably win it. The other 3 are definitely deserving I think

[eyeswideopen]

I would agree that Rolfe deserves POY in SOC II. He plays like a player of the year, makes his teammates better and conducts himself on the floor and with the officials like a player of the year. Something that can't be said for everyone.

[JustPlayBasketball12]

Top 3 for SOC I
1. Brown
2. Turner
3. Hinze
There could be other such as Leist( Eastern) , Gilliland, King, Riffe( all 3 from Clay)

Turner from ND gets almost a double double every game.

I think we look at P.O.Y. candidates for their scoring, but I think other statistics needs to be thrown in there as well.

Martin from eastern gets a double double bout every game as well him and leist go back and forth leading the team in scoring at games so far.

[JustPlayBasketball12]

I was going to add Martin as well. I just think POY should be more than just points

Ok say your team wins the league and your team is pretty balanced like Unioto wheres there is no really high scorer just a great group of players and great coaching. ..but you have a kid thats in the league avg 20+ points 7 reb 6 assists 2-3steals per game and reality shows you that this kid is the best in the league but his team finished2,3,4th...does he get P.O.Y? Or does someone off the league winning team gets it?

[asb]

Now imagine if that same kids Team finshed first in the league with those same statistics and the balanced team finished2,3 or 4th...who is P.O.Y.lol

[eyeswideopen]

I don't believe that the league winning team has always had the player of the year in the SOC II. Last year there was co-POY and neither one of the players was on the winning SOC team. I do believe another year two teams tied for the SOC and they didn't award a player of the year from each team.

agreed I think it should be all around game as well.

Well in this specific example, you would have to look at that players performance versus the best team in the league. In my opinion, putting up large numbers against the bottom half and going missing in the big games against the top of the league don't show much of a players ability to make his team better. With Unioto, it's not just balance, but playing time. It's not like the starters are in for 4 quarters and share the same amount of looks. Unioto has had many games where the starters play as much if not less than some bench players. The nba and NCAA use efficiency ratings to grade players. If you ask me, Cole Cottrill is still the most efficient and impressive player in the SVC. Following him is Erique Hosley, Jonathan Thomas, and Corey Wyman. Numbers are easy to defend in high school basketball, but there are many other factors that need to be accounted. Defense, for example, has been completely overshadowed by the voting the last couple of years.
In response to your other post, if a player averages those stats AND finishes at the top, it's a no brainer. He's been the most dominant player on the most dominant team.

[Rebels on 3]

It's a close call in the Hocking Division. Ehman from SG has put up some very impressive numbers overall: Avg. 24 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, 6 assists. He's been double double and triple double in stats for a couple games. I'm not sure of Guthrie and Jenkins from Trimble's stats but both those boys are impressive as well.

[trojandave]

Kyre Allison of Portsmouth should clearly be the POY in the Ohio Valley Conference.

[BlueDuck]

Here are my picks for the SVC:

1. Thomas, Adena- has very quietly had a monster career. Outstanding scorer who plays much bigger. Nice to see him finally get some recognition.
2. Mowery, Zane Trace- faces defensive focus every night. ZT has little else and might not have 3 wins without him.
3. Wyman, WF- one of the area's most consistent players. Deserves to be in the conversation. Helped lead WF to best finish in quite a while
4. Unioto- Team is extremely balanced, loaded with talent, and would go undefeated in conference play without any one guy. I'd go Cottrill and Hosley on the first team. Swackhammer, Kennedy, and Wheeler on the 2nd. Not having the POY fits perfectly with Unioto's team mentality. Best SVC team in many, many years.

Hoops is COY.
