With only six teams remaining we can start thinking about player of the year, coach of the year and theTribune’s first-team. Go ahead and fill in the blanks and comment away, but if you’re like me, you have no idea who deserves player of the year yet. Even filling in the top 25 spots won’t be easy. There is nobody that stands out as MVP, then again we’re only in the second round of the playoffs. But there are teams finished like Charter Oak, Claremont, South Hills, Damien, Bishop Amat, Baldwin Park and Azusa that still warrant strong consideration. That’s where the tough decisions come, weighing individual performances and level of competition against teams that continue on in the playoffs.

Above: Arroyo was one of several SGV teams that lost in the first round on Friday. Coach Jim Singiser looks like how I feel thinking about All-Area. Narrowing it down and picking the right guys won’t be easy. It never is.
