Message: [QUOTE="newfrontier, post: 3434899, member: 8141"] Some of you who follow player awards in WBB may be aware of one of the more prestigious ones, the "Senior CLASS Award". It recognizes the most well rounded individual in each major sport, men's and women's. The player must excel is the 4 "Cs" , Community, Competition, Character, and Classroom. Here is their website: seniorclassaward.com There was discussion on the Arizona State vs. Oregon State thread about how Oregon State's Mikayla Pivec got completely overlooked for this important award. If was unbelievable. If you wonder why, just listen to coach Scott Rueck reading her resume' at the end of his Arizona State vs. Oregon State post-game presser. Go to the 13:50 point in the video if you want to hear it. [MEDIA=youtube]aOHswWa8Bn8[/MEDIA] As some others have said I concur, she[B] IS[/B] this award, but never even made the semi-finalist or finalist list of candidates for WBB. Well, a lot OSU fans (and maybe some fans of other schools too) wrote to the Award Mangers/committee to complain. Now, low and behold, the folks there have added Ms. Pivec as the 11th finalist! They openly admit they blew it (my words)! Read this! It is unprecedented (their word) for them to make this late change..

"[/B] [B]"At the end of the day, although this move is unprecedented in the 18-year history of the award, she is being added to the list of finalists. Our decision is based on just getting it right.
