[font=georgia]District 5:[/font]

[font=georgia]I must say Ben Holen and Caleb Shockman from Lamoure they definitely can light up a crowd and tear up a court. Maybe even Caleb Shockman will  open up and dunk a few times next season. And the obvious - I definitely have to go with Beau Sizer of BCN, you guys can fill  my extra 2 athletes. [/font]

District 5

1.  caleb shockman
2.  Ben Holen
3.  Levi hintz
4.  Nick Fayville
5.  the young tucker bartlett

Shockman and Holen just have good chemistry together on an impressive Lamoure team and stand out among other players...Levi Hintz from pingree and Fayville from central prairie are both dominant leaders on their teams and alot is expected of them and Bartlett from BCN because throughout the D5 tourney he has been so much of a threat with his long jumpers and his ball handling skills especially for his age... I left Sizer out of my top 5 because i feel he is an overrated player and does not have very much sportsmanship to really impress me

So this overrated player that you left out that averages 25 and 13 a night, he helped his team beat LaMoure tonight. Overrated... get real.

yes i do think that he is overrated ill give him that he has a nice shot but people talk him up way more than he should be...in the first half of that game what did he do?? not a whole lot..they looked elsewhere and they found an answer in their young players heinze and bartlett...sizer is just an average player that knows where he should be he doesnt impress me the least bit and has probably the worst sportsmanship ive seen from a senior and should not have gotten District 5 senior of the year

So you are saying Fayville is better then Sizer?

Wow.... I'm not saying Fayville isn't good because I've never seen the kid play. But c'mon now. Are you just trying to be funny. How can you overlook 25 and 13. I don't care how is sportsmanship is. Look at the numbers. PLUS, he got his team a district championship.

Im not just saying fayville is better than sizer im saying all 5 that i picked are better than sizer...and no i am being dead serious right now...im not overlooking his numbers i dont care for his style of play and SPORTSMANSHIP is something you should look at when you say how you feel about how good a player is...and SIZER DID NOT get his team the championship tonight the outside shooters and fast ball movement that sizer couldnt even keep up with were what won the game tonight

I'm not even going to discuss this. This is a pointless arguement. I don't care how bad of sportmanship he has, the guys numbers can't be overlooked. End of story.

I have no problem with you saying Sizer is overrated and stating your opinion but there comes a point when you have to give the kid his due.  He averaged 27 and 11 last year and he's got 25 and 13 this year. I'm not a stats guy but those are impressive numbers that you don't get without talent.

Thank you... I hope you are a 30-15 guy saying that 25-13 isn't impressive.

Im not trying to turn this into an argument its anyones own opinion about who they feel should be the top 5 for the district and I just feel his name should be mentioned with actually anyone elses name.  and im not saying his numbers arent impressive because they are its the kids attitude towards the game is why i dont rank him in my top 5

i have been to several of his games where he talks alot of crap on the court while hes playing and while even making little shots ive often seen him running down the court pumping his chest taunting the other team and one time i even heard him taunt some of the fans...there is just no place for that in high school basketball

Sizer is hard to explain, when you see him, Thin body, not much muscle, not great footspeed, no hops, BUT He gets his shot off so quickly, either hand, keeps moving constantly,curls the lane, and has Tremendous Post entry passes from his Guards.  I was impressed of how they deliver the ball to him, when he should get it he does, esp. when he has a defender on his hip.  I think, no I know, his guards get him the ball better than any other in the Dist. 5 .

I just put in the guys that i have seen play this year. I haven't seen Ostrom play but i guess from what i hear he is a pretty good ball player. I guess i forgot to put his name on that list. Another guy in this district that won't get any recognition is Zach Michaelson because he is on a horrible team. He is second in the district in scoring and 2nd in rebounding.

That statement is not only ridiculous, it is an outright lie.  Beau Sizer is a talented, well-respected, well-liked young man among his peers, teachers, coaches, etc.  Congrats to Beau and his team on a fantastic district tournament.
