Those are great picks.COY- Roken SJP
MVP- S. Jones QB. SJP
It's hard when there are only four league games--and I'm assuming all-Catholic teams as well as MVP and COY picks are based on league games only.Those are great picks.
I can see them going with Prete after beating Wood & Lasalle and only losing 2 games. I think what SJP did this year wasn’t as surprising as Roman. I think there’s no case for anyone else besides Jones for MVP.
Armstrong does deserve a nod. Terrible situation he was handed and made the best out of it.It's hard when there are only four league games--and I'm assuming all-Catholic teams as well as MVP and COY picks are based on league games only.
I suppose a good case could have been made for Armstrong at Wood until the loss to Judge given the difficult situation he had and Wood's performance against LaSalle and Roman (and in several non-league games if you're including them). And maybe Prete would have been a good choice if Roman had been able to stay close to the Prep for at least half the game.
As for Roken, it's worth noting how consistent the Prep was in league games. And if you're counting non-league games, I'd say the way the Prep came back against STA in Florida without Agard and after Trotter went down very early must have had something to do with coaching. Impressive also was how they rebounded big-time the next week and pulled out a tough game against under-rated Erasmus when Jones was not having a good game.
I believe it’s picked by the coaches.Don’t think you can argue against Roken. That’s not the point. He definitely has the easier situation, larger talent pool, support etc. They have been good since Brooks, Infante, and now Roken. The next guy will inherit the same good fortune. My original pick was Armstrong.
Who picks? Do they have a league committee or does an outside source pick ?

I wanted Armstrong to do well ,but we know the outcome. I couldnt select him as COY after such a poor season despite the circumstances.Armstrong does deserve a nod. Terrible situation he was handed and made the best out of it.
