Whoever put these rosters together needs to revisit the difference between West and East

Congratulations to Nikodemski on his post season recognition.  I'm thinking he may have had the flu or some illness at the Sweet Sixteen in Lisle last weekend.  I didn't see his All Region and All Star Game talent in those two games.  Must have been the "body of work" during the season, as they say.
Does anyone know if that is the case...the illness supposition?

Further congrats to Scottie as he was named First Team All-American today. Huge honors for not only him, but Coach Hargraves and the entire Alma program.

Congratulations to Nikodemski on his post season recognition.  I'm thinking he may have had the flu or some illness at the Sweet Sixteen in Lisle last weekend.  I didn't see his All Region and All Star Game talent in those two games.  Must have been the "body of work" during the season, as they say.
Does anyone know if that is the case...the illness supposition?

No... he basically ran into teams who seemed to have a pretty good handle on him. I was there and illness certainly didn't seem to be a factor - he looked pretty well to me. But both teams did a very nice job on him defensively until he broke out late in the OWU game and changed the direction of that game late. In the Benedictine game, he couldn't adjust for the Eagles height inside. It was amazing how many times he would drive and come face to face with Luke Johnson and had nothing to compensate... putting up some really off balance and bad shots as a result (in comparison, OWU's Axelrod had far more success against Johnson in similar circumstances).

And body of work during the entire season is certainly where people are honored, not for two games on one weekend only.
