My badass award goes to Allie. Honable mention goes to Ashlyn and Kayleigh. All 3 are really stepping up and showing out. They are so fun to watch.
Many of you are forgetting Kibitzer's primary rule of Badassery:
In determining the game's badass....
![]()
For last night's game that one is Kayleigh Heckel. Coming off the bench and delivering 13 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals is very definitely badass. She was everywhere.
Looks like I "misremembered" that.😕CL82, there can be more than one BA. I refer you to a transcription of Kibitzer's 2016 post:
{Kibitzer, October 13, 2016
The season is almost upon us, so get ready to identify our individual badass huskies from game to game. A little refresh a course for old ‘yarders and orientation for our newbies.
*in this case "may not" means "not necessarily", not prohibited (my edit).
- ABY bad ass award is never based on dirty play, poor sportsmanship, (including flopping), selfish play, and other such traits.
- Stats are not the criterion. High score may not* earn this unique BY recognition.
- No honorable mentions, but… Multiple awards are sometimes OK.
- What really counts is tenacity, delivery in the clutch and, most of all, play that breaks the opponents spirit… Causing dagger in the heart, shoulder slumping effect.
- Sanaya was a bad ass versus Maryland for that killer Trey late. Pulido for that shot. Swing cash for her smack down of Doug Gottlieb.
- We never lost a game last year. I’m not comfortable honoring a bad ass. Should we (ever) lose.
- and oh yeah, Stewie earned the most BA awards and only one player earned none.}
I think it would be helpful if TonyC would note Kibitzer's criteria for the BA Award at the beginning of each of his post-game Award postings to eliminate confusion.
Jana may not be the BA, but I thought she had real good minutes except for that silly missed layup. I think that was a 3-point shot that she blocked.Jana for coming out of the paint and blocking shots out there but all of our guards for the way they play defense.
She has surpassed my expectations thus far.K9, really rounding out to being the player that we had hoped she would be.
