Good article, Costello should win it with Valentine coming in 2nd. Costello has had a monster year and I especially like that he put up 34 points 26 rebs and 8 blocks against Detroit PSL power Detroit King after putting up 49 against Flint SW (24 rebs and 11 blocks too). Those are good programs with Division I talent and he had a couple of his best games. I've watched some film of him and he looks like a very skilled player who can do it all. I think he has a chance to start at power forward for MSU in the Fall. Kid is going to be special and because he skipped the summer camps he has been overlooked and is underrated IMO.
Valentine is almost averaging a triple double. He's a great ball handler, extremely strong with the dribble and is 6-5. The Lansing press is calling him the smartest ball player and best passer they've had locally since Magic Johnson. Not a great scorer yet, but the kid can handle the ball and pass it.
