NET player of the year

[Codeair2000]

So how about Aaron Woodacre getting north east tenn. player of the year congrads to Woody well deserved award. Beating out Omar and Wiggins isn't a small task, maybe it will open some people's eyes now. What do you all think of the choice?

If you look at Fritz' all whatevers in football and BB over the last several years it shows a small school and Carter county bias to which he has strong ties to. Let me add that Woodacre is a fine player. But the question always begs who would you not want to leave behind when you get on the bus?

Yeah congratulations to Woodacre but im sure he would trade that in for a chance to go to state because he has that much desire to win.

Congrats to Woodacre but with no disrespect, he wouldnt get that much hype if he was playing in the Big9. Not to take anything away from the kid. He is a great ball player and is a dead-eye shooter.

The kid can flat out play. Doesn't matter what level he's playing at. I've seen him play with people at the college level, big 9 teams, some "has beens" and he can play with any of them. I think if he was playing AAA he would be getting MORE hype.

Nope. I don't think so. Big 9 schools have role players that can shoot just as good as he can. Boones got them, it seems like everyone of Centrals bench can shoot..... He won this not because he is the best player in the area, but because he was the most important player to his team... Which thats what a MVP is supposed to be anyway. Not the best, but the most important. Congrats.

I thought it was the NET sportswriters association ...however it will probably be a similar outcome.

Woodacre is very deserving of this award. He is alot more than just a shooter, he can score off the dribble if needed or feed his teamates when the defense is keying on him. CONGRATS!!! Would have been nice to see him play in the Big 9 like he was supposed to. He would have gotten alot more recognition.

["shake and bake"]

Congrats to this kid, whomever he is......

I have never heard of this guy. Is he ranked in the state, and if so where and how high?

He must be a great player if he beat out Wiggins and Wattad! Strange?

[Codeair2000]

Yeah he is it is only strange to people that he beat Wattad and Wiggins out because he doesn't have the press feeding his reputation like those two. UH is in Johnson City but yet you hardly ever see anything on the news about UH sports related until regions or if they win a tournament then you might hear something brief on them. Science Hill is always mentioned on the Tri Cities news and in the Johnson City press. That is expected though considering it is right in the middle of Johnson City and it is a public school, not saying UH isn't a public school. With Wiggins he plays for Greenville k he also has a city to feed his reputation like Wattad not taking anything from Wattad or Wiggins they are both great plays or they wouldn't be where they are now. Just Woodacre does not have the press to get the word out about him, all Woodacre has is word of mouth, and the people on the internet to get the word out about him. If Wiggins and Wattad are D-1 material then without a doubt I believe Woodacre is too.
