on an individual level, i think that janell huber had the best performance at the state b girls' tourney. she put in 20-plus points in every game, as well having no less than six rebounds or assists in a game (i think).
but i think that it is what she does when she doesn't have the ball that is most impressive. she is always moving, and always creating on the offensive side of the ball. her basketball i.q. is pretty much off the charts. and i don't think anyone in class b can set a better screen.
she probably won't win the award because of either class a bias or because of the recognition someone like neubauer gets with winning a state title, but i would take her on my team anyday.
it's hard to tell how good someone like feickert really is, because she was basically a one-person show, but i also think that regardless of talent surrounding a player, a miss basketball candidate, and a division I athlete, should be able to get her team out of the region tournament. huber did that.
