mine thing that hurts VV is Henson deciding not to play. He started the last two years and averaged almost 10 ppg last year. I believe the junior class is more of a football group which hurts a small school like VV. The one sophomore that's injured would have been the starting point guard which would allow VV to run Denny off a lot more screens and they would not have to rely on him to be the main ball handler. The bottom line is if VV wants to build a program they need to keep Denny as coach. If they get rid of him I suspect the two freshman leave as well
Great game until refs got involved. Oakwood shoots 19 FTs in 4th. Waynesville had 4 starters foul out in the 4th. It is a shame. It was a great game up to that point.Waynesville was up 45-40 to start the 4th. The score is currently 53-45 oakwood.
Congrats to Oakwood on at least a share, don’t see them loosing they will clinch it outright. I feel like the pit is a tough place to play. Felt like they do get some questionable calls there, but they seem to always play well at home and get the job done.Great game until refs got involved. Oakwood shoots 19 FTs in 4th.

Not a chance, not only has Rubin outplayed him on both ends of the floor throughout the entire season - the deciding 13-0 run of the game (at the start of the 4th) was when Rubin was finally switched onto Warren and shut him down.One thing that became evident in the game is Warren probably moved ahead of Rubin in the POY race. He was clearly better player tonight.
I completely disagree. Warren through up a 30 and Rubin was barely a factor in the game. He was shutdown completely until the refs bailed him outNot a chance, not only has Rubin outplayed him on both ends of the floor throughout the entire season - the deciding 13-0 run of the game (at the start of the 4th) was when Rubin was finally switched onto Warren and shut him down.
Warren is a great player, but he isn’t in the conversation. It’s been between Rubin and Lawson for a while, and with the championship and multiple game lead in the standings it should be Rubin.
Yes, Warren was great for 3 quarters until Rubin was switched onto him and shut him down. It’s been an interesting strategy this year where Oakwood’s coach waits until the other team’s best player is hot to finally switch his best defender onto him. Maybe to conserve his energy as he is their primary ball-handler and scoring option on offense.I completely disagree. Warren through up a 30 and Rubin was barely a factor in the game.

Warren had 8 in the fourth. Not exactly shut him down. Rubin was held in check all game.Yes, Warren was great for 3 quarters until Rubin was switched onto him and shut him down.

The Warren kid is still a heck of a player, he’s had a great season. Just doesn’t deserve the POY. Rubin has earned it leading a team that no one thought would contend for a league championship to what will likely be an outright one, while being the best two-way player.
We will see. Would be shocked if he didn’t win it. At the end of the day, what really matters is the W, the championship, and the 3-peat.Warren had 8 in the fourth. Not exactly shut him down. Rubin was held in check all game.
Look Rubin is a nice player but he is not POY in my opinion.
We all know how this will go. The best player are on the best team will win POY. It's been that way for a while. The last time I remember a player on a team who didn't win the league was Denny over Kennard in I believe the 2011-12 season. Denny was a junior and Kennard was a Sophomore. I maybe wrong but Denny was one of the top scorers in the state his junior and season years
I stand correctedlast year Ramy Ahmed split with Connor smith. Eaton was 7-16. So that is incorrect

Darren Rubin in 2019-20 as well.last year Ramy Ahmed split with Connor smith. Eaton was 7-16. So that is incorrect
I agree Warren has no chanceWarren is in no discussion to win POY. I truly think it will be a co POY Lawson and Rubin. Coach of year will go to Oakwood, but Carlisle coaches will be discussion
if you look at league games Lawson is clearly the favorite as stats on league games he is on top on most categories.
I agree Warren has no chance
I think you should go back through all the stats of league games and re-think this statement, they are close but I believe Rubin is ahead of Lawson in more categories (scoring/offense).
That’s what’s on website looks pretty accurate.
After last night Warren will be ahead of Rubin in points per gameI agree Warren has no chance
I think you should go back through all the stats of league games and re-think this statement, they are close but I believe Rubin is ahead of Lawson in more categories (scoring/offense).
How can you say he’s the best defender? What is you metric?Rubin is the best defender of any of the candidates, with equal scoring numbers to Warren and better overall stats than Lawson - and is the leader of the team that is running away with the league.
Warren has no shot, the only other player who could get it is Lawson as a co-POY.
Based on watching the games, but if you’d like to boil it down to a number he averages double the steals.How can you say he’s the best defender? What is you metric?
Rubin doesn’t rebound and one of the biggest games was a non factor.
Warren has the best all around numbers as I presented. As I said Jacomet is a better option than Rubin
Try using league games for your numbers. I don’t care that Rubin put up 28 against Northridge just like I don’t care Warren put up 31 against Massie.This award doesn’t come down to just stats. It’s the player who has the best overall season. If a player led the league in scoring but their team was in last place they wouldn’t deserve it. However, if you want to go simply off stats, Rubin still deserves it:
Rubin: 17.2ppg, 2.7reb, 3.7ast, 2.8 TO, 42-30-75, 9-1 + League Chip
Lawson: 18.7ppg, 2.7reb, 2.3ast, 5.2 TO, 38-38-76, 6-3 + 2nd
Warren: 16ppg, 4.9reb, 2.3ast, 3.1 TO, 47-32-75, 5-4 + 3rd
PPG - Lawson by 3That’s what’s on website looks pretty accurate.
