Heard last night that the new headmaster nixed the plan - so rumor is that she is now NOT playing, but she wasn't going to be able to play District Tourney anyway so ??? I don't expect the newspaper to report anything - especially since there was the "breaking news" just a week ago announcing the return. Guess we'll see come Region Tourney time - or wait for CAK's EBTHER to confirm...

I'm not buying that she approached the team. Coach is on his way out so he doesn't care about the message he's sending. This isn't the coach's doing, the "powers that be" need the team to continue playing for personal gain. Of course they voted unanimously to let her play - sitting in a circle with a group of high school girls you arent going to be the one to publicly vote against the group. Bet they all hugged and squealed in that meeting, but I bet a few of them burst into tears as soon as they got in their parents car. I feel for the kid who will get knocked from the starting lineup. The ones who worked hard all season becuase that's what you're told - hard work pays off, right? And I feel for her parents who have to now try to explain the politics of high school sports. I heard about this a few days ago from a CAK parent, but it was just rumor mill until it was made public by a local prep sportswriter last night. I don't think everyone is happy with the decision. Not at all knocking the player involved. I'm sure she's a great kid. This isn't about the kids (obviously) - it's when the adults get involved that things get skewed.

Katy Collier also deserves a nod. You could really vote for any of the Webb girls. They are each role players who contribute to their TEAM success.That being said, in my opinion Miss Basketball should be reserved for upperclassmen who have earned their way and proven themselves throughout their high school careers. DII is the only division where underclassman names are being tossed around simply because the numbers and the competition just arent there. Im not for individual awards in team sports - it sometimes encourages selfishness and playing for individual glory. If you're voting simply on stats then just grab the stat sheet and pick the leading scorer. If you're looking for the most well - rounded team player and Senior leader, in my opinion Madison Davis - who has started in 3 State Championship games in 3 years and going for her 4th - is your best choice.
