Congratulations to El Dorado's Whitney Frazier, who was named to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's All-Arkansas First Team in basketball today. It was a no-brainer of an honor.
Parkers Chapel's Savanna Langston was named All-Arkansas second team for the second year in a row. I thought she should've been given first team consideration as well but that point was arguable.
Frazier, however was named MVP of the state tournament. She led the Lady Wildcats through a dominant season and was the best player I saw.
But, the state Player of the Year Award was decided as soon as Arkansas signed Fayetteville guard Calli Berna. That closed the deal, ended the debate, sealed the case.
From that point, Frazier could've dunked six times backwards and averaged a quadruple-double and it wouldn't have mattered.
That's just the way it is in this state. That's how it was in football, too. Whoever the Razorbacks sign will automatically win Player of the Year.
That's fine, especially since our players in Union County don't seem to put much stock in that stuff, anyway. But, don't be surprised in a couple of years if what Whitney Frazier is doing at Louisiana Tech isn't making today's decision look stupid.
