this selection process always leaves many perplexed, as was i about several included and others omitted, but that one is an eye popper. please tell caitlin emilie's dad said save it for regionals, we'll show them in little rock.
All of you are right. "The Shaft" happens to many (few truly deserving as this one) for just as many reasons. At least there are two more potential years provided more of the same does not happen again.
its politics. if a player makes it one year they are likely to make it a second year even if they have a down year. not having looked at stats im gonna guess that theres a senior or two who have made all state atleast one before that has less deserving stats than this girl but made it again.
for an example look at guys 3A, carl anderson from dreher listed as a defender. carl in actuallity played forward for half the year and is deserving of allstate at that position but not at defender. but im sure voters remember him as the lock down sweeper and his terrific free kicks last year.
Too many people in it for their own kids, instead of upholding the integrity they are supposed to be displaying. Thank the good Lord above that is not the case with everyone there.
