“It’s an honor to be nominated…” but Kadeisha Buchanan, who wins just about every award for which she is nominated, has a chance here. I don’t know where this would rank in her vast trophy case — somewhere between Herman and Hardman, no? — but it’s a national award. Too bad Kelsey Plum is in the mix. This one won’t be easy.

By the way, Buchanan played in 16 matches for her professional club that went 21-1-0 and made a mockery of the league. Look at the goal differential!
