As a person who doesn't usually like all-tourney teams, MVP and Coach of the Year awards, I must say I think the voters of the 16th region got it right. IMO, Perry is the hands down player of the year and Fleming's Puente has set the tone for Fleming's outstanding season. Kristy Orem is definitely deserving of the COY award. The only way I think the voting could have been "more correct" is if co-coaches were selected with Bill Bradley joining Orem. Bradley has taken a young Ashland team and transformed them into a legitimate regional contender.

Congrats to all of the winners!

The list sounds good to me all around. I think Coach Noble got hurt in the fact that everyone expected Rock to be great, but you can't knock what Tim Rice has done at SW.

[McCameraMan]

IMO, Coach Steve Miller of Magoffin deserves Coach of the Year in the 15th. Probably the biggest turn-around this year. From going 10-15 last year and losing in the first round of the districts to having the best record in the 15th, and making it to the expo for the first time in 4 years. But congrats to all winners.

I agree with you I think Pup Miller should of got COY

Why do you have two coaches listed for the 14th? I hope that the Ken Jones is just a joke. Also think that coach Miller could have won the award in the 15 but coach rowe is a great coach as well. Thanks for the info.

it was a tie for COY in the 14th

[LOOKAYANNER]

Kendall Noble is the best player in the 14th region by a mile. If Player of the Year is only for seniors then that makes absolutely no sense. The best player in the region is just that--the best player, regardless of what grade they're in.

I agree. I checked into these awards with some coaches and found out to even vote for these awards that coaches must pay dues each season to recieve a ballot. Don't think many coaches on the girls side in the 14th pay their dues! Just another money maker and not for the right reasons!

that's what i don't get is why he was voted over Estill's Head Coach. Estill beat Powell All 3 Times They Met This Year and Estill has a Better Overall Record Than PC does. Nothing Against PC cause they do have a pretty good team and i believe they return Everyone For Next Year's Team, I Just don't see how he gets the nod over McKinley

[kcc73]

He must not be liked by the few coaches that pay the dues! Pretty sad. But how could you like Jones with his attitude better?

[Strikeout King]

i do not know

congratulations! :Thumbs:

If I'm not mistaken, only teams that belongs to the KABC are eligible for the award and are the only ones allowed to vote. Not usually a true sampling.Congratulations to those winners, but everyone is not considered for either the coach's award or player of the year.

No offense to Coach Teague of Bell Co. in the 13th, and I'm sure these are based on the regular season, but Coach Akal at Harlan took a team with no seniors to 15+ wins and a district tourney title from the 4 seed including an upset of Bell. If I had a vote, I would have to use it accordingly.

Been that way for quite some time. Early nineties I believe.

Congrats to the Lady Tiger-Whitney Belle Jackson

I think the best player has to be a senior because they get invited to the all-star tryouts. Noble was the best player in the 14th last year, too, but the award has always been for seniors.

I agree that Akal is coach of the year in the region. Teague was the best choice last year.

This was all done before district even started.
