I didn't make the game last night; I'll have to download the webcast, but I can't throw Carr aside so quickly. Remember, this is the Carr that scored 28 points against Beulah last year in the regional semi-finals; a game that Hazen only lost by 3.
That means Hazen played the state champions as tough in the post-season as both North Star and Trinity did- all on the back of Stetson Carr who didn't and doesn't have nearly the supporting cast that Volk and Zacher do.
Due respect to Jesse Hettich, who is tremendously athletic, very long, and a great defender, but he gets many opportunistic points while the defense is worried about Zacher, Nelson, etc... Carr doesn't have that luxury. IMO Hettich can be entered into a conversation of the 4th best player in the region along with several, several others, but those other three are a cut above.
This is a fun discussion of Region 7 but a moot point in regard to the topic. Haglar is the #1 Class B candidate for Mr. Basketball.

Hazen had a much better team last year than this year. Most of the seniors on last years team played a lot as sophomores. To say Hazen played Beulah close in the regional tournament primarily because of Carr is a huge insult to the many very good seniors that were on that team. Athletically, Carr is with or maybe above Zacher and Volk (he's definately faster than Zacher), but he's not with them as a basketball player.
As far as Mr. Basketball, my vote would be for Jacobsen. He creates more matchup problems than Haglar. If its a career award, Haglar probably gets it though.
