KC Jentzen of Nanuet should be County Player of the Year.
What a joke, I guess you HAVE to be a Senior to win.
She led her team to a Fed Championship, Walker didn’t
Yeah what a joke. I see the same old girls on these teams. There Kristen and Victoria DesMarais and Avery Zuvic that led a Haldane team to the Section one Gold Ball. An accomplishment that no one ever thought would happen.Its not all about leading the team in scoring the most points all the time and losing its about defense and team leadership.

No offense to the young ladies you mentioned, who are very nice players, but I think your school spirit is clouding your judgement.
This is ALL County not all league.
This parental feeling is possibly why coaches keep leaving. Haldane is a great TEAM as a whole with different players stepping up.
this has nothing to do with coaches leaving the school because of parents.I don’t know where that came from. My point is that it was always the same girls that were chosen probably by the same people. I have no ill felings towards the girls that are honored they are good players and they deserved such honors.
