I guess i didn't understand the point you were trying to make when you questioned the Senior athlete of the year being the third leading scorer on her team. If someone is a great athlete and plays a great team game, I would think that would be a good definition of senior athlete of the year. Someone who makes their team better by great hustle, defense and other things that go unnoticed on the stat sheet would probably be another good definition of senior athlete of the year.
Like I said, maybe I didn't understand the point you were trying to make.
Sometimes I think everyone spends too much time looking at stats and points and not enough time looking at the game as a whole.
That is the definition of at least 50 girls in the state who make their team better and play on good teams, and they work hard.
My point is that people are assuming that the Class B state senior athlete of the year has to be all-state, so when the coaches vote Class B state senior athlete of the year, people think it's an automatic bid for all-state, and that's not true. Apparently, that's the way the media felt. I don't necessarily agree with media even voting on all-state, but I guess I can understand why Rosenau didn't make it.
Sierra Rosenau is a very deserving player of the honor she got, and not only is she fun to watch, but she works her tail off doing it. But it's hard to make a case for a girl who only averaged 11 points a game whose not a point guard, IMO. Especially when that player is third on their own team in scoring.
A top 15 player in state though? The coaches seem to think so, but the media didn't. I guess I really don't have a problem with Rosenau making it or not making it. The senior class this year in Class B was very thin.
