2015 IDAHOSPORTS.COM BOYS STATE BASKETBALL AWARDS

 

By Gary Jones and Glenn Jones

 

Things have changed at idahosports.com and for the better.  There was a time I did play by play for all 6 title games.  We have crews for every single division now, and I only announce for the 5A teams.  Each broadcaster that did the other division games gets to do the title game now as it should be.  Because I don’t see all the games at the Ford Idaho Center anymore, I am not going to list awards for all 6 divisions like I used to. I will stick to awarding the 5A teams only.  I will, however, continue to use all the teams at state for the coolest names and alliterate names.  Here goes……

 

5A State Champs:  Mountain View Mavericks (26-1)  66-53

Sometimes the best team doesn’t win state because they don’t play well enough.  I think it’s safe tosay the best team won this year.  It was the first title for the Mavericks and the first for their coach, Connie Skogrand.  Their lone loss came in District at the hands of the Boise Braves, but they rebounded from that to dominate at state and get revenge against the Braves in the title game.

 

Runner-up:  Boise Braves 

3rd Place:  Lewiston Bengals  

Consolation:  Eagle Mustangs 

Sportsmanship: LewistonBengals

Academic:  Idaho Falls Tigers   

 

 

 

TheIdahosports.com All State 5A Tournament Team 

One requirement we have- we will pick at least one player from each of the 8 teams at state for this all state team.

 

MVP:  Destiny Slocum (Junior), Mountain ViewMavericks:    

There are years when this award is debatable, but not in 2015.  I would think if we gave every person who saw this tournament a vote, they would all write down Destiny’s name.  She is just an incredible talent, and the best female high school basketball player I have ever seen in person in my 62 years on the planet.  For the tourney she put up these numbers:  79pts, 31 rebounds with 15 in the semi-final, 16 assists, 11 steals, and just 5 turnovers.  She also shot 38 free throws, which is a new tournament record beating out Tisha Phillips from Lewiston in2 012 who had 34.  If you love basketball and have not seen her play, circle the calendar next year on a date she has a game and go watch her. Like the crowd at the Ford Idaho Center this year, you will hear audible oohs and aahs when she is dribbling, driving, and dishing. And, yes, this young lady could beat many boys in basketball one on one!

Idahosports.comPep Club of the State Tournament: 

The students from Centennial high win this years’award.  It was standing room only, they cheered loud and often, and they one of the two mascots at the state tourney.  That Centennial Patriot looked pretty darn cool.

 

TheIdahosports.com Mascots of the Tournament:

The Bull, or Maverick from this years’ tourney wins our mascot award.  He was awesome as he not only helped lead cheers in front of the pep club, but he roamed the crowd and helped the cheerleaders. However, the “he” was really a she as Jordyn Crawford was inside the mascot uniform helping her Mavs to their first girls’title.  Way to go, Jordyn!!
