Congrats to Macie Gibson. She deserves this award because she is the best player in the region. She has more D-1 upside than any other 14th region player, and that's why she will be playing on one of the Kentucky Premier AAU teams this summer that's designated for D-1 prospects. Her team will be playing in Lexington, Indianapolis, Bowling Green, Nashville, and Atlanta. There may be a few more that I'm not aware of.

As far as the comparisons with Proffit, it's really difficult to compare players who play different positions. Proffit is a shooting 2 guard and Gibson plays the 3,4 or 5 positions. Proffit did have an advantage in the past season of playing with more experienced players than Gibson. They both averaged around the same points per game but Gibson did it while playing with three 8th grade and one 10th grade starters. She basically had to carry the entire team on her back because of their youth and inexperience, and by district tournament time improved enough to win the 56th from a 4 seed spot.
