I can't understand how anyone didn't vote for Mikayla Blakes first team? It was either Sarah or Mikayla for player of the year. The voters are a mystery every year. Also, I noticed the Hidalgo received more first place votes but 5 less total votes which probably says that Azzi had all first and second team votes but HH probably had some third place votes that pulled down her total.
 
Sarah was the only unanimous choice this year. My memory may fail me, but haven't we had multiple unanimous choices in recent years?

I’m kinda surprised that KK didn’t get honorable mention. Great assist to TO ratio and great defensive player.

While KK has a stellar defensive game, I think it will be difficult to crack any of the All-American teams without double-digit points-per-game on the offensive side of the ball. It will be interesting to see continued growth in that area next year.

funkraider, I share your puzzlement, and take it one step further. The way the simple math works out (1st team vote = 5, second team vote = 3, third team vote = 1), Azzi's vote totals had to be 14 First Team and 17 Second Team. (14x5 + 17x3 = 121)

For the same reasons, Hidalgo's vote totals had to be 15 First Team, 13 Second Team, and two Third Team, with one voter keeping her off the ballot altogether. (15x5 + 13x3 + 2x1 = 116)

Congratulations to Sarah and Azzi.

A few years ago I thought Azzi's body would betray her and she'd never achieve her potential. She clearly has the motor and grit to overcome the setbacks and thrive, and the hard work she's put in has been validated by both team and personal success. She's ambitious and confident and not afraid to show it.

Sarah's personal growth has been astounding. Her interviews have evolved from last years goofball into this years serious and determined leader. She just puts the weight of the team on her shoulders and keeps going. Really excited to see how her personality continues to develop over the next 2 years.
