Hey how come Shay was not named All State when she was named Player of the year in the Metro Conference?
Boy good thing Paris stayed….
The question should be why she was named player of the year in the Metro.
POY is not voted upon until the season ends. Shay had better production during the conference year but Paris stat’s (scoring wise) improved quite a bit during the state playoffs. Those that vote for the all state teams often pay more attention to what is happening during the playoffs then just the regular season. I am sure the Hicks kid that won POY for the state was helped by 2 items – #1 he is going to Carolina and #2 he had a monster game in the state finals. If Page had won the state finals, I would bet she could have been player of the year because that is what voters would have remembered more.
