Keating is the best all around player this year at WMC. She deserved more recognition last year.
The coach (of any team) is most influential in who gets the awards. WMC had some girls in the past who didn't get AA because the program was still trying to get respect/recognition. Last year's AA were not necessarily the best players to come out of WMC's program, they were just lucky to be there when NJ's other coaches finally gave WMC its due. And by the way, if you polled other players in NJ, the AA didn't even go to the best player last year. So, yes, the coach has a lot to say about it.
Keating, hope your coach likes you! Good luck this season.
