Quote: If the "Columbia Crew" showed up for the meeting, I'm not sure their players should have been chosen based on them "kicking and screaming". Do we want politics to decide who gets these honors?
I don't think it's just a matter of politics. If the Region 4 & 5 coaches had shown up, at least the committee could have heard more about their players' accomplishments and worthiness to be considered, even if they weren't selected. This would be a completely different discussion if those coaches had shown up.
You called them the "Columbia Crew", but they also represent Aiken, North Augusta, Orangeburg-Wilkinson, Lancaster, Rock Hill, and South Pointe.
