Shepherd Head Coach Ernie McCook

[Tdobson]

Question: I know that Bagent's brother started a game (or maybe more, I am not sure). How did he do or look?

Did he start the seven games that they won?

Just asking.

Coach of the year is usually based on preseason expectations, did you meet them or exceed them. Clements is a lock in the East. The West is a different story, Boro technically was co-champs, far exceeding expectations and I think Clarion was picked last in preseason poll and they far exceeded that. IUP was picked second but did some first place votes, so Tort will get some votes but I do not think he wins it.

I think it's unquestionably Clements. Undefeated and blew everybody out (except for Bloomsburg game). I would consider Shep's rebound as sort of a moral victory. The performance is a good thing, I guess. But you don't win awards for that.

If Shepherd beats Seton Hill this weekend to finish 7-4 after starting 0-4 and finish second in PSAC East, does McCook deserve to be Coach of the Year.

The Rams were limited already and then became a severe causality of the transfer portal. Winning out was quite an accomplishment!

The vote here is a resounding YES. Thoughts?

It was a great rebound. They did blow a 14 pt lead in the 4th quarter to Slippery Rock that had they won they'd be squarely in the playoff mix. Went up 17-3 against Clarion as well only to get smoked from there on out the rest of the game. Everyone is getting hammered in the portal for the most part.

Coach Clements deserves it this year. Bullet on their back and they worked about the whole division minus Bloomsburg last week.

Now the award for PSAC East Offensive Player of the year... I think Jordan Barnett has a legitimate case on that. Leading the league in scoring, and 2nd overall in rushing yards. Averagin over 7 yds a carry too.

I think it will go to the victors at Kutztown and Novak (very much deserving) but Barnett has made a charge I think on that front.
