The team is Portage Trail Conference Champs. Coach Spurgeon is co-coach of the year for Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association (OHSBCA) district 4. Zell Bradley and Ryan Burfield were on the first team as well I believe

what's the ohsbc awards, Sam? Is there a link to an article or anything? Sorry to doubt you but after those uncomfortably long hugs on Sat, I think it's very possible you would make up fictitious awards to give to the players... just joking

Sam Gilbert said...

No need to add "just joking"...the fact that you would write something like that despite your obvious disadvantages in size, toughness, and intellect clearly implies "just joking"

The awards are presented by the Coaches Association in each of the 16 state-wide districts. I clearly remember voting for a wiry point guard from Heritage Christian as player of the year once......

......but only because I coached in division IV and was ineligible to vote for Brett Wackerly...

I believe Brett even got a few votes for d4 player of the year, despite being in d1, if my memory serves me correct..

And I'm glad I was able to win over a coach with such great standing (and hair to body surface ratio) that earned me that award despite my poor shooting from field against his team. I also remember thanking Josh Pancher profusely in my award acceptance speech
