Neace is a better all around player than the four JRs you mentioned.  She’s does more for her team.  To me that’s how you base a player on.  Neace does more than just score or just jack up threes.  Plays both sides of the floor.  Don’t get me wrong the 4JRs you mentioned are excellent players.  But I’d rather have the Neace girl from Perry.  Hoskins is a  good choice for POY.  Girl can play.

If you’re talking strictly junior class I would have to rate Owsley’s Carly Smith at the top of that list. She is the best all around guard in the region in shooting, passing dribbling and is a very good defender. And a very smart player. I’ve seen her over the summer and she has added some muscle and quickness. 
She would also be in the running for the region POY as well. She already has over 1300 career points with 2 years remaining of eligibility.

I should have added to the above post that most of the POY awards are reserved for seniors, such as the KHSAA one that hands out their awards at the state tournament, and a junior isn’t eligible for it. I think there is one other POY, though, that is awarded regardless of class. 
These kind of discussions in preseason are sometimes slanted toward ones biases but imo Carly Smith has been one of the better regional players for the past 3 years dating back to her 8th grade year.
