WHAT???? No Region IV or V girls on this list???? That is just unbelievable to me. According to my sources, the Region IV and V representatives did not even show up for this meeting. TELL ME IT ISN'T SO? If you were there, were you in the bathroom when the names of the players in Region IV and V were brought up? The girls that were nominated from the Region IV and V schools ....Dutch Fork, Irmo, Spring Valley and Richland NE deserved to be at least considered. There are several girls that were ALL-State selections last year, and certainly if looking at their stats, should have been on the ALL-STATE team this year. It is rather a coincidence that the committee members for these Regions....White Knoll (David Lloyd) Blythewood (Tony King- rumors here) Aiken (Ron Johnson-just resigned) did not have any nominations to be voted on, so is that why they didn't show up or were there other reasons? But what about Spring Valley (Steve Lea)? Did you not come to at least fight for your own players?
I am not at all trying to take anything away from the other committee members. You showed up, and fought for the players on the teams in your respective Regions. Good for you! I just wish that the coaches from Regions IV and V had taken their selection for this committee seriously, and if they couldn't make it, at least get a substitute to represent them. I am appalled and disgusted!
In my opinion...This is NOT a true ALL-STATE team.
