eh, it's pretty common here. It's almost obligatory. Not to challenge the authenticiy of that player's actions or show my butt but observationally, anything the kids see the pros/tiktiok/Utube do, they will do. Be it celebrations. shows of sportsmanship and compassion (which I find best done discretely), dropping the ball before crossing the line grrrrr.Agree that there is some over-selling from Moneyline on this player. However, that's still pretty cool what the kid did in the Brunswick game.
That's not something you see from many high school kids.
They're almost selling points now. I've seen enough less than steller personalities, look at me types, put on that show. Granting it's also possible that seeing it done on social media has made it acceptable for some kids to be their real where it used to be, you go to your sideline, they go to theirs. In my smaller city neighborhoods, they very most likely know that player that went down and they want to show their support. Probably the same for these two teams you're talking about.
I think I've dragged this thread off enough though. Lots of good candidates. Voters get to use their own criteria. No mandates. It's a good award.
