Quote: What jumped out to me was that, for 4A/3A girls, only five defenders out of 36 players were selected.
That's not a statement about any of the names selected. But it seems that a team on the field is usually made up of 36% defenders, but the All-State selection only selected 13% defenders. So it seems, just based on those numbers, that there is a heavy bias towards offense and points, not necessarily impact.
After looking at most of the scores this season it seems about right that the play makers took home most of the All-State honors. There were only a handful of schools with a shut down defense. Anyway, congratulations to all HS players that worked hard and played for there respective schools.
