As we know, on Saturday, February 25, the Season Awards will be announced.

I was hoping we can write down our predictions for the following awards:

Pony Wilson
ROY
Defensive Player of the Year
John K. Adams

I will go first:


Pony Wilson

Top Contenders:
Matt Byrnes
Gian Paul Gonzalez

Winner:
Scott Findley

Why? I will get some heat for this. Gonzalez has led the NJAC in scoring. He is #4 in the nation is PPG. He is a great player who has carried MSU to an above .500 overall record, and 9-9 in the NJAC.

With that said, I think Findley should get it. He has averaged 20.1 PPG, but mainly he has carried the team to second in the NJAC, a 17-9 record, 11-7 in the NJAC.

Not to mention, his team qualified for the playoffs. How they played in that game shouldn't matter. This is a regular season award.


ROY

Top Contenders:
Chadd Barnes

Winner:

Wayne Smalls


Why? This was a clear choice. Being on a really bad team, Smalls, was the only bright sport.


Defensive Player of the Year

Top Contenders:
Devin Davis

Winner:
Quameir Harding

Why? He led the nation in steals. Much like Amin last year, and Tennyson Whitted in prior years, Ramapo's players are always at the top of the list here.


Coach K

Top Contenders

Jose Rebimbas (WPU)

Winner:

Chuck McBreen


I apologize, y'all for being biased. I think Rebimbas will get it and he deserves it if he does. WPU was 6-10 in the NJAC last year. This year, they had a complete turnaround and vaulted to the top of the league with the best (and a very impressive) record of 13-5 in the NJAC and 18-7 overall. WPU went from the bottom of the league (actually, Camden was last with an 0-16 record but I am not really countin them) to the very top.

However, I believe in my heart that Chuck McBreen is the best NJAC coach. His team has severly underachieved, I know that. They were picked to finish first and barely made it to the playoffs. Yet, to me, McBreen is the best NJAC coach. The passion, the fire, the desire to win, the game mentality that he brings is remarkable.


I ask that you not criticize my picks but instead offer your own predictions for who will get each of these awards.  Let's keep this civil...

I can go with Findley for the Pony Wilson award, he did carry his team.

I also agree with Smalls, how could he not be rookie of the year when he was rookie of the week almost every week.

Defensive player of the year I am throwing out a homer darkhorse candidate.

Alex Mirabel

Coach of the year

anyone listening to the game? 32-22 Stockton pulling away.

Knightstalker

I just got it at the end of the half, Stockton 36, Ramapo 26.

Truck, try closing everything but the stockton page and the player and maybe it will connect.  I disconnected for the half time.  I will reconnect in about ten minutes.  I will post updates during the second half if I can.

Pryor travels.....Stockton ball down 1 with 35 seconds on the clock.

BigMike.

Wesley missed a lay up with 13 seconds on the clock....Announcers classified it as easy. Stockton then had 2 shots blocked (one by Wesley). Harding then hit 2 free throws to make it a 3 point game and stockton missed a heave for 3.


Ramapo, the #6 seed is going to the NJAC championship!
