I think Shannon is a good player, But a lot of his points come from players keying on Vespie. Now, does this make him the best, no, but it does make him a gereat asset to his team.
Same goes with Blakley from Cosby, he is the only one you hear about but it was Manning early in the season who was 2nd in the area A thru AAA in scoring. He is still near the top even though he has fallen off a bit.
Great player are only as great as the players around them. a good teammate is by far more valuable than one superstar.
In a lot of respects, I think that the East TN area is loaded with soph and Junior talent which should lead to a very exciting 05-06 season.
It would be very hard to single one out as the best and impossible for it to be agreed upon.
