Coach Bynum emphasized that if you work hard over the summer, it is going to pay off. So it is paying off now.” “Definitely, I took it 100 percent personal ,” said Dowd, who was named the regional tournament MVP after the game. “People refer to him as the best player in the state, but I think I am one of the best players in the state. I was ready to get my recognition too.”“There is no doubt that he should be mentioned for player of the year,” Bynum said. “There is no question about it. If he is not pushed for that, it would be shame. That kid has over 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds for his career.
“I don’t think it was his best, but in that moment, it was his best game,” Bynum said. “He has spurts when he plays like that. He is a special player. He will be a good player for us next year too.” Philon led Baker with his 24 points with a third of it coming at the foul line . The Wolves made it difficult for him, especially in the halfcourt set with Bryson Berry and Braxton Hornsby working on him. Dothan also threw double teams at him, especially on the perimeter.
