Like them or not, there is absolutely no excuse for this. The coaches should be ashamed of themselves. For a girl on the winning team to obviously have a significant role in winning the championship and not get MVP is ridiculous. However, the coaches dont see it that way. They see it as just another trophy going to Rowan. Griffith did have some good games but how can she be MVP of the tourny and not win? Apparently she was not valuable enough!! 16th regions coaches are jealous of Rowans success and to cheat a girl out of what she rightfully deserves is obserd! And teams wonder why Rowan beats them by 40! You bring it on yourself by doing stuff like this. But like others have said the most important thing is Katie and the rest of the team will be playing Thursday in Diddle while the rest are still at home complaining!

I agree that Martin had a tourney deserving of the MVP, but Griffith had a great tourney as well. If the MVP vote was taken at the end of the game, I agree that the MVP should, in almost all cases, be picked from the winning team. But aren't the ballots turned in during the second half and isn't the MVP decided on the sum of the coaches' votes for each player? If this is the case Martin could have only lost by one vote. I don't see a conspiracy here, I see a perfect reason why all tourney teams and especially MVP awards should not be given. All players should be happy enough to be playing for the championship. These kinds of awards usually cause hard feelings between players, coaches, parents and fans. JMO
