Whats up ya'll? So after sulking over hearing the result of the game against LH last night (GS lost 67-62 in OT) I decided to pick my mid season award winners to comfort the players and the members of the Salem Psychos. Enjoy!
Team MVP: Jake Matthews
Matthews has been nothing short of outstanding this year and is certainly living up to the hype that he had coming into the season. He will soon pass the 1000 point mark and has lead the Golden Lions to a solid start with his sweet shooting and his leadership. Cornell picked up a good one when Matthews signed with them and GS is lucky to have a player of his caliber.
Most Improved Player: Casey Hope
Hope epitomizes the GS mindset of being and underdog. Despite his stature, Hope has made it a smooth transition from the days of Chris Klimchock. There were many other candidates for this award since the entire lineup other than Matthews are new but the fact that Hope had to replace Klimchock put him over the edge.
Defensive MVP: Raevann Mottley:
Ok, I know that defensive MVP is a football award but Mottley truly deserves this title. Despite being only 6'2, Mottley has provided a presence in the post that has prevented teams with more size from taking advantage of the small GS lineup. Mottley almost reminds me of Dejuan Blair (though obviously much smaller) because of his long arms and his vertical leap. He also provides a physicality to the team that his reflective of his play on the football field.
Best Game: GS vs. Hempfield
This game was everything that it was hyped up to be and more. After falling behind the Spartans in the first half, GS stormed back in the second and pulled out a huge victory in the heated rivalry due to hot shooting from all around. Did it give me any closure after being on the field for the 40-7 massacre in football? Oh not even close. The Psychos were able to hold their chins up high and talk a little trash...just a little.
