Jr,

Do the coaches from your region actually meet to discuss All-Region? Do you have the ability to trumpet the cause of a player on another team?

I'm not sure that's the case with all regions in the state. I have a feeling that spots are allotted based on how a team finishes in the region standings. Then, it is solely up to the coach on who represents their school on the all-region team.



I've experienced it both via coaches voting (cannot vote for your own) as well as allotted spots based on finish. I prefer the latter.



I agree. That's how we do it in region 7-AAAA; each team has a number of slots based on region finish, and the coach fills the alloted slots with the players from his team he considers most deserving. I like this better for two reasons:

1. As was mentioned, sometimes coaches don't pay that much attention to individual players on the other region teams.

2. It makes sure that hard-working players from EVERY team are recognized. I seem to remember reading one all-region list where the entire team was from one school...not very sporting to the other teams' players who may have worked very hard for what they got.

I've got good news and bad news...
