yeah nothing could be more obvious but lets say ironheart had already graduated, who are the other candidates for this award?
oh ya he would but he got moved to district 8 this year... him and the kid from AE got co senior athlete of the year in district 8 other wise yes he wouldveThe Schwab wrote:really...i figured that R.J.

Thats exactly right both have had great careers, i've seen them both play multiple times and they're both great at what they do. Whoever wins it i'll have no complaints.rkmt wrote:Count me as a vote for Bakkum. I've seen them both play just a few times, and Sizer does some amazing things - the way he finds a way to basket for rebounds could be a nice edge for BCN if Linton is having even a slightly sub-par shooting night - they won't get many second shots from what I've seen. However, I liked Bakkum as an all around player that can take control of the whole floor. It's hard to compare a post and a perimeter player sometimes, but Bakkum has great numbers and yet plays pretty unselfishly IMO. At 24 points and over 8 assists, he's directly involved with 40+ points a night, not to mention possessions he gets back averaging almost 4 steals. He's not that far under a double in the rebounding department either. No, stats aren't the only thing, but they do tell a pretty good story about what a player does for his team when you look across the whole stat sheet, and Bakkum makes things happen for everyone.
No one should feel bad either way it goes. I think Bakkum will get it. However, I won't speak for him since I don't know him personally, but he seems like the type of person who'd trade places with Sizer in a heartbeat to have his team playing tomorrow night even if it meant no shot at the award. POY is nice but we're probably a lot more interested in who gets it than the 2 players themselves are. Bakkum doesn't need the award to impress anyone since he already knows where he's going to play D-II basketball, and Sizer still has a shot to go to state which I'm sure he's concentrating on. It a good debate though, and hopefully everyone will be congratulatory on here once it has been announced because they've both had great careers.

hahaha same for Bakkum. sure Sizer is good but he's one dimensional, whereas Bakkum can play inside and outside, run the point, play center, or run of picks. He is the best player in the regoin
i believe sizer is more deserving... hes awesome... there team is winning... he puts up bigger numbers... and hes a better ball player... he is as deserving and probably more...
Is this really even a question??? I mean seriously, Sizer is a TREMENDOUS player no doubt. And if the award went to the player that scored the most points and pulled down the most rebounds, it would definately be Sizer. But senior athlete goes to the best player that is a senior. The difference between these two is Sizer has 4 other guys trying to get him the ball at all times on the floor. Bakkum doesn't have anyone to set him up. He has to create his own shots for himself and create shots for his teammates. All Sizer has to do is stand in the post and wait for the 4 BCN guards to throw him the ball. Both are very deserving of this award though and both are very good players, but IMO, Bakkum is the better player.
And if Steele would have been in the lower bracket, they would be playing on Thursday too. Maybe not for the regional championship, but they for sure wouldn't have been 1 and done. It is unfortunate for Bakkum though, he deserved to play a few more games.
I don't think it's quite as easy as you make it sound. Every game he is double and triple teamed, and has to constantly work to get around those defenders to even get a chance to get the ball.
Not quite as easy as sitting outside shooting the three-ball IMO. Both Bakkum and Sizer have had outstanding high school careers, but gotta give this one to Sizer.

Is Bakkum going to play DII ball? I heard he committed to play in Bismarck.

RJ Darling and Nick Bylin were co-senior athletes in district 8. i would have to say Cory Wall was probably 2nd in district 7.north_border_eagles2106 wrote:pacod wrote:Well it's kind of obvious who's getting region 4........T. I.
