Who is “HIM” in the Week that IS? 1/30 -2/03/24

[pfloyd]

Trying to give props to all of the players across the SE District who had excellent performances each game night - win or lose! .... offensive or defensive performances! ... starters or off the bench! - players who had outstanding contributions to the TEAM effort ... I only get to 1 game per night - those players get recognized in my writeups BUT there are many, many, many players who deserve to be recognized for what they do for their teams nightly, on teams/games I don't get to - with your assistance WE can make this happen - thanks, pfloyd


Please post exceptional individual performer names/with school name & stat lines from the Week that IS (Tuesday 1/30 - Saturday 2/03/24 :

... we're getting better !!! getting more players mentioned ! getting the hang of providing "napkin stats" for players from both teams in the games we watch ... awesome seeing players mentioned that ARE quality players that we don't normally see posted - no fault of the teams/players coaches ... IF there are any coaches/ADs out there who read SEOPs, IF you want to send me a pic of the stat sheets from your games - both teams or just your team - I'll make sure your "HIM(S)" are mentioned in the "Week that IS" thread I've started this season ... we have 72 teams Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line ... 7-8 man rotations per team ... a conservative number is 576 athletes that could have "HIM" nights on the hardwood on any given game day ... I want to get MORE of these players mentioned! and it doesn't have to be JUST the high scorers! you and I know that TEAMS are made by the play of the "role players" on the floor at both ends of the floor ...

Coaches/ADs here's an email address to send napkin stats to :
