Guest John Fox Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 My choices for the Press athelte of the year for 2012 1.

Jermey Baltz Vestal grad St Johns baseball drafted in second round( highest ever for baseball) 6. Gallagher M.E. QB and basketball player 7. Luis Aceta M.E. football and track 8. Nick Sorrenti M.E. football 9. KJ Rose BHS basketball player 10. Jimmy Gray former BHS grad and current BU basketball player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section4Mike Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 James Johnson is the clear and only choice. Clearly in the discussion for easiest no-brainer ever for Press AOY. Job well done JJ! Can't argue with C Jones at #2 or J Jones at #3 even though I do not recognize the sport. He's an athlete and he's leading his field. I can and do argue with the elder Jones at #4, but then, who cares, it's not even close to #1. Be proud U-E, you have a great slate of athletes in the top level of their chosen. Not too many schools can say that. For high school I haven't paid enough attention overall to fairly say who I think is tops. You are probably right though with Gallagher. Good job with your list, although...any hs females in the discussion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the point. He doesn't even start. A guy off the bench is not in the discussion for AOY. Certainly not even for 4th place. NFL or not. Sorrenti gets it over Jone Jones. He did the very best he could at the level he is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Who would you rate higher then Art Jones for 4th place? 4 sacks is very impressive in the NFl considering he does not start. So you are saying he's #4 because of four plays? I wouldn't list a 2nd stringer in this discussion if That's the point. He doesn't even start. A guy off the bench is not in the discussion for AOY. Certainly not even for 4th place. NFL or not. Sorrenti gets it over Jone Jones. He did the very best he could at the level he is at. I meant Art Jones. Sorry.

Certainly not even for 4th place. NFL or not. Sorrenti gets it over Jone Jones. He did the very best he could at the level he is at. Four sacks against NFL teams carries more weight then tackles against Owego and Johnson City. Art keeps his 4 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Four sacks against NFL teams carries more weight then tackles against Owego and Johnson City. Art keeps his 4 spot. Bull crap. Level of play is a factor, but not THE factor. Else, no matter what a high schooler does, you'll argue the pro gets the nod. Besides, what's tackles vs Owego and JC have to do with what I said? Sorrenti was named for his offensive skills at his level of play. What he did this season at HIS level far surpasses what Art did. I am a huge fan of Art Jones, loved to watch him play football and wrestle, but he's not #4 on this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 and I'll even bet a week's pay that if you asked Art himself he'd say that Sorrenti belongs higher on this list for 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a huge fan of Art Jones, loved to watch him play football and wrestle, but he's not #4 on this list. I would rate Sorrenti higher if he played more then one high school sport. Art was a two time state wrestling champ as well as an All State football player. Chandler was an accomplished basketball player as well as blue chip football player. In my opinion Gallagher rates higher then Sorrenti because he also played basketball at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and in what universe was Chandler an accomplished basketball player? I'll admit I only saw him play basketball once, but based on what I saw and read from U-E fans, he was not "accomplished") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Nobody said it didn't,did they? The fact that he was on the original post and at #4, and has been mentioned in other posts in this thread, then yes, people did imply it did not take him out of the discussion.

Of course the others aren't in the same class as the top two. The top ten list gives recognition to others who had noteworthy seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
