I would say after Josh Sewell's play the first month puts him as the top candidate for Mr. KY Basketball hands-down.
If Trinity wins the KOB then Josh will get MVP of the tournament which definitely will springboard him to the lead candidate for KY's top player award.
Trinity's schedule will keep him in the limelite as long as he performs, it is his to lose. Good luck Josh.:Clap:

Sewell is Mr. Basketball Candidate
Trinity senior guard Josh Sewell is a top candidate for the Mr. Basketball award in the state of Kentucky. He hopes to become the first player from Louisville to win the award since 2005 and the first to ever attend Miami (Ohio) following the receipt of the award.
Sewell Joins 1,000 Point Club
Senior Josh Sewell continues to post some impressive numbers in the scoring column and has positioned himself to become the schoolâs all-time leading scorer. Sewell currently has 1,031 career points in 90 games. Sewell registered 457 points last season in 30 games. It was the most points in a single season by a Trinity player since Tanner Jacobs had 493 points in 29 games during the 2006-07 season.
Sewell passed the 1,000 point mark with 1:21 remaining in the third quarter of a 69-46 win over McEachern (Georgia) in the quarterfinals of the 2009 Canfield Development King of the Bluegrass. Sewell finished the game with 19 points and 1,002 career points.
Previously, the most recent addition to the exclusive club was Kyle Saxton, who scored 1,148 points in three seasons between 2003 and 2005. Saxton became the seventh member of the club during the second quarter of the 2005 Louisville Invitational Tournament Championship game on a free throw that completed a four-point play. He finished that game with 1,016 career points. He posted 441 points during his senior campaign, averaging 13.8 points per contest in 32 games.
⢠Sewellâs 1,031 points place him second in scoring among players during the Mike Szabo era behind only Kyle Saxton (1148). He surpassed Matt Chamblessâ 927 points in the Dec. 11, 2009 win over Waggener.
⢠Josh Sewell netted a career high 31 points against Jeffersontown on Feb. 13, 2009. It was the most points by a Trinity player since Tanner Jacobs had 31 points vs. Clay County on Dec. 21, 2006.

I agree 100%.
Sewell is having a huge year early on and has been the best and most impressive player in the state...hands down.
He has AVERAGED close to 25 during the KOB, which is very impressive considering the competition.
Trinity and Sewell are going to be tough this year.
Congrats Rocks on the W.
