These were the coaches in attendance:
Class 4A Girls (9)
Coordinator - Josef Lorenz, Dorman
R1 - Craig Joyner, T.L. Hanna
R1 - Ryan Roseberry, Westside
R2 - Kevin Czar, Mauldin
R3 - Kelsey Geary, Clover
R3 - Cesar Robles, Northwestern
R6 - Jimmy Watson, Sumter
R7 - Shannon Champ, Wando
R8 - Bob Polk, Summerville
These were how the players were divided
All-State team- 5????- WANDO PLAYERS
4????- MAULDIN PLAYERS
3????- DORMAN PLAYERS
2- TL HANNA PLAYERS
1- HILLCREST PLAYER
1- SUMMERVILLE PLAYER
1- FORT MILL PLAYER
I realize that it must be a hard job to go over other teams players and try to compare them with the "Powerhouse Teams" players of these other regions, but if you look at the results and the coach that showed up? Also, just curious, how the 4 Mauldin players were chosen for the team, but were not even on the list of 34 All-State nominees. Did Coach Czar just bring his 4 nominations into the meeting, and say by the way, these are the girls I want on the All-State team. Their names not being on the list, how were they even considered? Not trying to take away from those players being worthy, just how does the process not work for every team involved?
Wando: 5 of their 5 nominations on the All-State team....and you said it yourself, that Coach Shannon mentioned some things about these players that you might not have known. There should be some limit to how many players a team should have on the list.
Like I said in my original post...I believe that the coaches that attended the meeting did their job. It is obvious...Wando 5 for 5, Mauldin 4 for 4 ( I assume since their players were not even posted on the list), TL Hanna 2 of 4, Summerville 1 of 2, and Dorman 3 of 2 (How is it that you have 3 players on the team, when only 2 were nominated?)
Not sure what happened with the top two scorers in 4-A (According to Individual stats) not being on the All-State Team...would love to hear how that discussion went. Just wonder what stats you guys were looking at????
Like I said on my original post...I am appalled and disgusted!!!! Even more so now that I have really looked at who made it versus who was at the meeting. Shame on you David Lloyd, Steve Lea, Tony King, and Ron Johnson!!!!
There is NO WAY you can convince me that these Region VI and V players were given more than 2 seconds of consideration without a representative there.
