Since Lee and Heidelbaugh are in the same region, one of those two will most likely win region athlete of the year (I'd hate to be the one picking that winner between those two). Whoever does not win region athlete between those two would be "out of the running," so to speak, for Mr. Basketball.
If they are going by career than yeah prlly heidelbaugh. But if they are going by this season it is unquestionably Lee. Even the berthold rugby matchup, if you were at the game or seen the box score, Lee showed out. They led 80 percent of the game but rugby's overall team size wore them down. Austin Lee has been without question the best player in this region his team has no one over 6'2 and he carried them to a 20-1 record. He is the best player in this region and should be a Mr. basketball candidate.

I think they really did not want to choose between them because they just gave it to both.

If you are a finalist, you will get a call the day before the list comes out. Which would be today because I believe the list comes out tomorrow night on the news.

Halverson - Minot

McKay didn't even get Region 4 senior athlete. He is a great player, but not someone who should have been up for this award.
I do have a problem with the award in general, it is a senior award, but only takes into account their senior year. If you have to be a senior to win it, it should be a career award. Just my opinion.

I don't understand this statement highlighted in red. What's your basis for your opinion? If its based on Senior Stats and winning SOY, then why wasn't Austin Lee considered?
I believe it was based on previous seasons, Last Year's state showing, for Heidlebaugh and Kretchman, but again career stats for Trayvon McKay have been just as impressive. And Austin Lee's probably were too!
I also think since there wasn't more than one outstanding candidate for class A, the powers that be didn't want to select more than two worthy class B candidates, and end up with 3 to 4 class B finalist to 1 class A. Yep, a flawed system.

Irwin from Wahpeton needs to be mentioned. He led his small class A school to 2 state tournaments and became their all time scoring leader this year, which is no easy task in the class A ranks. Especially coming from one of the smallest class A schools.

What I meant by that statement was, if you are not considered the best in your region, how can you be considered the best in the state. And this is a senior award based on your senior season. Now that being said I do think the media does remember what happened in years before. Either they need to change the wording so that it is a career star award, or if they want to give it to the best player in a given year make it open to any age player.

Not necessarily. The award will be voted on before either of the "B" boys play tomorrow.
