Aaron Ness carried his team to the state title last year as a sophomore, he has been playing very well against college competition this fall and is going to try to graduate a year earlier to play at the U. I cannot name any player with near the quality of resume as Ness. He controls the entire game and is superb in all zones.breakout wrote:Ness best player in the state...........maybe. By far, that is ridiculous. You may want to get you head out of the sand. Can't eat much turkey with your head in a hole.scoreboard33 wrote:Ness by far, I heard he is accelerating classes and trying to be at the U next year. Is that true? Would he be able to win Mr. Hockey if this is his Junior and Senior year?
Joe Gleason is very very good, however last year he tried to make to many offensive plays and left Joey Brehm in a very bad position almost every game. Fortunately Joey Brehm was one of the best defensive defenseman in the state last year and saved him. Gleason is more physical though, but you can't say better offensvely since Ness never had a defensive partner like Brehm.
Ness is one of the few defenseman who can take over a game. The offensive players in the last few years who could do that are very few and there are even less defensemen. If I had to make a list of the top of my head it would be Oshie, White, Wheeler, Niskanen, Brian Lee, Jay Barribal and Ness. Ryan McDonough could in his own zone. I can't think of any palyer this year that is in that category of truely great playern and not only a consistent game changer, but a game-maker. These players are the players that make something special happen every time they touch the puck, they are the Wayne Gretzkys and Michael Jordans of High School Hockey. I think Aaron Ness is in that category and I think it is fair to say he is the best player in the state by far because of that.
