What makes you say this is done by stats? Stats has very little to do with it. If there's difficulty choosing between Player A and player B, stats may be referenced. That's about it. It's about who is the best player at their position in the eyes of the Coach's. FYI, Seniority, leadership and consistent performance at a high level are more highly valued than stats.
Please wait for the VAPreps All-State. It's the only one unimpacted by politics and the good OL boy network. They will justify every choice. Only one thing matters for them, who is the best player at the position in their class.
I believe you referenced before if you did not make 1st team All Region, you can not be chosen 1st Team All-State. Not all coaches can see Seniority, leadership, and consistent performance at a high level from every player at a certain position. It's not possible.. Since I'm a Glenvar fan two stand out to me Manns and Stanley, both are team Captains, both are Seniors, and both played at a high level. However, Stanley did make 2nd team. Manns did not. All-State should be based on individual and not region. Being the West was so dominant players on the 2nd team West Team All-Region could of been 1st Team All- State.
VaPreps will get it right! By Clarke having 12 on the list means they were the best team in the East. The West had at least 5 teams that could've won it all. The West was that good!! This is why they should do away with region picks. FOR example In one region you could have a Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers. In another region you could have AJ McCarron, TJ Yates. Drew Brees, is first Team All-Region, and Aaron Rodgers is 2nd Team. TJ Yates will be first team in the other region while AJ McCarron will be 2nd team. They way they have it now Aaron Rodgers, and AJ McCarron will be left out cause they were 2nd team All-Region. Even though Aaron Rodgers is 100x better than TJ Yates he was 2nd Team, so he was left off. This is what's happening now!
That's correct. If you're not 1st team All-Region, you are not in the pool of players available for 1st team All-State.
Just FYI. IMO, VAPreps is a better list but you won't find a whole lot different from what's already out there. Most of the VHSL All-State selections are right on.
Disagree, these choices are based on "good ole boy system" "I will get ya guy in if u get our guy in." This comes from many of the coaching staff i have spoken to in past. Its a dang JOKE!!! Many of these players deserve to be on list, no doubt. But i hate to see our kids get shafted when they played on the top levels all season. No one here will tell me that there was a better LB in the state (2A) other than Delonta Kelso! NO ONE! Ask Richlands what he did to Blankenship when about knocked his block off to cause a fumble in end zone. Im not being a fan, Im being real! Look at that hudl and do a "eye test" and i dare yall to tell me different.
Best player in the State? Certainly more are higher rated. He's still a heck of a player.
I don't know how you interpreted this thread that way. NOWHERE in this thread does it say the State teams are by stats.
OKAY!!! You asked for it, you will get it!!!!
His size is interesting and he has room to grow. He's young. The physical form is there but here are the only stats that will matter. 5.2 in the 40. Plays on a low level, losing team against poor competition and does not dominate.
I gave you stats on Buster Henderson, so you cant say that. I gave them on another post. Here you go again. 54 catches, 862 yards, 11 tds, 1 rushing TD
4.2/ 40??? You sound silly! 4.4-4.5 is going to get you looks at D1.
5.2 is his only posted time and the video seems to support that. He does have good hands and size. Helpful. GL to you both.
So what??? No mistake there, just correcting your ignorance that a WR needing to run a 4.2 40 to get looks. So you dont think a high school athlete increases his time before he gets out of college? We have a kid right now that is running a 5.53 and got a D1 scholarship to play WR? So what is your point?
are you are drugs? Do you read what you're writing here?
Computer muscles again, smh. What a class act you are. I will be the bigger man to dismiss your arrogance.
You said 5.2, if you review your posts. I don't think you'll find a DT in the NFL that runs a 4.5 or better. But yes, my kid can easily beat 5.2 and he'll do it from a standing start. Frankly, all 3 of the boys can beat that with hardly any effort at all.
