Yes Champ, I really posted that. I was not insinuating that Duoss should have 10 blocked shots a night. If she did that, she would be in the NBA. I simply meant that she was a very very good player for D3 and she should have dominated in the paint, and she did for the most part. As for Buechner, she was out of control and terrible at defense, but was in the right place at the right time (a lot). Becker was pretty good, but again, out of control. Lechault had arms the length of a giraffe's neck. She was good at changing shots but not very basketball saavy. I'm simply stating my opinions and it makes me laugh that everyone is getting so defensive (no pun intended)!!

Well, Duoss was a legit player. She should have had that many blocks and on nights that she didn't, clearly something was wrong. She would have been great in D1, although might not have had as many blocks. I have been following the WIAC for many years and I don't think defense is always factored in when making the decision. But such is life. So the saying goes...offense wins games, defense wins championships. Well, apparently offense wins you player of the week.

I wasn't insinuating that Heidi Asreoawivahioski shouldn't get player of the week. I just think there should be more than offensive output considered when choosing player of the week.

i agree with usuallywrong24 on this one...what if a team loses twice in a week but one player has a great individual statline. another players team wins twice but only has decent stats. there are a ton of different scenarios that could be played out in determining player of the week. i do agree that team success should be taken into account for player of the week. apparently i'm the only one though.

WW is not the team to beat in the WIAC. They are very overated. They lost their heart and soul last year when Lindsey B. left. She was the glue and the gut of the team.
I think you are mistaken in Lindsey Buechner being the heart and soul of the team last year. She may have scored a lot of points but she was not as big of an asset as Trisha Thill. Thill's defense was the reason the Warhawks made it as far in the tournament as they did. Thill was the glue that kept them together. You can always replace scoring but the leadership that Thill provided is irreplaceable.
