Talking Preps: How to determine postseason awards? Stat leaders or biggest turnaround?
On a new Talking Preps, we discuss the difficulties in picking postseason all-star teams.
Do you pick the biggest winner, or the player or coach who made a big turnaround?
Also on tap:
▪ Randall Clark highlights his girls’ players of the week: Ashanti Taylor, Porter Ridge; Kaylee Carson, Independence; East Lincoln’s Kiara Anderson; Mallard Creek’s Elle Stone; and Myers Park’s Jerin Truesdale. Truesdale joins us in studio.
▪ Rick Lewis features the boys’ players of the week: Trey Maxwell, North Mecklenburg; Tyler Showalter, Butler; Sir Mohammed, Myers Park; Nick Arnold, Lake Norman; and South Meck’s Peter Moye, who joins us in studio.
▪ On “The Roundtable,” Clark, Lewis and Alex Bass discuss if conference tournaments are still necessary and debate the best ways to pick all-star teams.
▪ On “Who Balled Out,” our video tribute to area stars, we feature Myers Park’s Mohammed, North Meck’s Maxwell, North Meck’s Lenise Joseph and East Lincoln’s Emma Montanari.
▪ Finally on “Coach vs. Coach,” Lewis and Clark debate whether the ACC keeping its men’s basketball tournament in North Carolina is a good idea; will Hubert Davis and Jon Scheyer be able to keep UNC and Duke in the national discussion long term; and should the NCHSAA separate regional play and state finals, and not host them in the same week.
