Who should win Class A Mr. Basketball?

[setter1704tgr]

Do you think that a players past recognition in post season has anything to do with the Mr. Basketball award?

[boydball10]

sure it does....i dont think that people being from chattanooga has anything to do with it. I think chattanooga or nashville are best 1a basketball cities and i think that people know when your competition level is that high and a player still has the stats then that says a lot. I think Jon Cook of CCS is very deserving. He is a very good player. I am looking foward to see who wins this one.

When Pickett Co. beat Gordonsville, 68-58, Joseph Bailey scored 31 points with 6 threes. He has 74 threes for the season and missed several games due to an ankle injury. 31 points against the #1 team says a lot!

aLSO THE BEST PLAYER CAN DO THINGS BESIDES SCORE.iWATCHED bAILEY PLAY FOR 2YEARS AND HE CAN SCORE BUT HE DONT KNOW WHAT DEFENSE IS.I would take Bonner at westmoreland or Austin at Gordonsville over Bailey. Those 2 can score and defend.

After last night I gotta stay with my first pick Daniel Puckett. He has absolutley no supporting cast and does EVERYTHING himself.

[supersteve17]

No disrespect to anyone else, but Jon Cook is the real deal. He was on the all-tournament team at the State Tourney when CCS won it all as a freshman. He has continued to improve each season. He is a fine high school basketball player and a class act to boot!

[One Fan]

Rusty Chambers from Unaka Should be on the list.

Thanks Boyd and Supersteve for your compliments on Cook. I know it's probably hard for you to give compliments to a CCS player sometimes . I just wanted to add that, as Supersteve said, Cook is definately a class act. He's as good of a person as he is a ballplayer. I know there are a lot of great players around the state, but Cook has to be considered right there with the best of them.

Jon is definately a class act, you all are correct. And he can flat out play and is as clutch a player as you will find. Some of the big shots he's hit this year have been unreal.

Daniel Puckett should get heavy consideration for A player of the year. He is averaging around 22 a game and has been the leader on a McEwen team that posted 19 wins and the 2nd Regular season District 10A championship in as many years. (the only two in school history) Daniel is surrounded by youth and has on many occasions been in large part responsible for wins. I don't believe that any other candidate has the hardship of a youthful team like Daniel does. He also recently posted 36 on Class AA Mr. Basketball hopeful and Murray State signee Shane Dansby.

 

I'M OUT

ok 1st of all john cook is an excellent player but he is not THAT good- he has a name b/c he is from a basketball area but he is alot more hype than a good player- and a class act? not sure how people define class acts nowadays- just had to throw in my two cents-

[Celinadawg18]

If your gonna throw Bailey and Austin in the mix,you have to throw Chase Stephens of Clay County in there too.He has averaged 20.4 points a game this year and around 7 boards a nite.He has led the dawgs to a romping over Gordonsville,a win over Pickett,FRA,Red Boiling and is a great player,offense and defense.He's a very under-rated player who makes alot of noise.Go Dawgs!
