NOTE: Top Performances will always be the barometer from which such stated data
will be presented.
I really like this format especially the note part: “TOP PERFORMANCES WILL ALWAYS BE THE BAROMETER FROM WHICH SUCH DATA WILL BE PRESENTED”. Its good because in final anaysis it makes it crystal clear what has transpired over the course of time versus the politics that usually accomodates selections later on. It does the athletes and fans a disservice when that happens.
Keep politics out of ball and let the results speak loud and clear.
Andy make a column so people can make suggestions for preseason player of the year for girls and boys.
You missed a couple Andy: Hollie Boggs (SA) 20pts, Darienne Sykes (SA) 12pts, Shaylen Burnett (SA) 12pts. all in the victory over Northwest Guilford. Stay tuned.
Andy,
Brandi Burrell (NWG) had 12 pts. in their loss to Southern Alamance.
