Player of the Year - Sacramento Bee

Horrible list. In most cases its useless. Def not even worth another thought. And for the record who publishes a 5th team?
 
Larry why is it horrible? Most coaches dont enter stats so how is Joe suppose to know who is playing well.
 
I think it’s his Job! He gets paid to put out these all city teams. They are usually bad, this year is straight up atrocious!!

The stats entering thing is such a cop out for coaches and media. I coached in the 80’s and 90’s and there was no max preps or hudl. If you wanted to scout a player or team you actually went out and watched and filmed. The sacbee can’t put out a respectable all city team because coaches don’t post stats..... come on get real.

So please tell me who would on your teams. It sounds like alot of hurt daddies on here complaining. Everybody seems to have an opinion but will not back them up. Some norcal magazine had Dale on the third team for norcal rankings so tell me who is crazy?
 
I have no issues with Dale as MVP. Great player and great season. I'm all about honoring the teams that did well and the players that got them there. And certainly no hurt daddy here. No skin in the game personally just a fan who watches a lot of hoops. When list like this comes out it validates why we have a norcal preps rating system. While its not perfect at least it makes sense. Joe's list is bad. Then again who reads the sac bee anymore. Its just as bad.
 
No point being critical of teams they are usually extremely flawed. To be fair JoeD is a one man high school staff but this year was the worst I have ever seen from top to bottom.

Let’s be fair to Joe D. This isn’t the 80’s or 90’s where all of the teams called in their scores after every game to the Bee and Union. The coaches also reported the other stats and a top 20 list was posted in the paper to show who the stat leaders were week to week. The Sacramento region has grown 10 fold and 1 person can not cover that many schools. Yes, the list is flawed, but overall he did a great job including all of the impact players in the area. We should support Joe’s efforts and the time he puts in to cover both girls and boys sports.
 
Larry i know you have no skin in the game, I just want to know who would you pick. We live in the world now where we just say we dont like something and then have no proof to back it up. This is why we have so much fake news.

I agree to a point... but he’s not doing charity work it’s his job. Having 5 teams is way to much anyways. Have top 3 teams 15 kids that more than adequate.

He just made a 4th and 5th team and eliminated the 100 name Honorable mention everybody gets a trophy list

So does Modesto Christian not qualify for this article? I fail to see how they have no players in any of the 5 teams or how they're not a top 10 team?

edit: Ok I'm pretty sure Modesto Christian doesn't qualify lol
 
No MC in the Bee, but NCP picked Ballard as POY for SJS. I would have picked Dale from Sheldon as well but Ballard is a solid choice who I think will be a good player for Cal Poly.
