SVGOAL10...Thank you for your response. I am glad that you were concerned when you saw the thread I started on "Region IV and V represntatives a no show". I hope that you were concerned that your nominated SV teammates were not properly represented at the All-State selections. Your concern obviously prompted you to question Coach Lea as to why people were talking about him. I appreciate that Coach Lea has allowed you to write a response to my question. Since Coach Lea has heard about it, and read the original posts, I would hope he in turn asks the question to those other coaches, and to Kevin/Kyle Heise to find out what happened. Apparently, what we have here is a failure to communicate. There is no need to explain why Coach Lea either does or does not frequent this board, but if Coach Lea only checks this board once or twice a year, then I would hope that the organizers of these committees are not relying on this board to communicate to the individual coaches. I started that thread because I had a valid question and I truly wanted to know what happened. It obviously started people talking. There were a lot of responders that went off on their own agenda, as often happens when someone asks a questions or brings up a point. (I guess that is just one part of the "freedom of speech" we all enjoy by living here in the USA.) It doesn't negate the fact that there were at least 9 Region IV and V players that did not have a representative present at that meeting to give "insight" as to why they should have been selected. The players that were selected are of course, worthy of being selected but I believe that the All-State team would have had Region IV and V players on it (my opinion), as well, had there been a representative in attendance.
I do believe after hearing from Coach Lea that he did what he was supposed to do, in notifying Kevin Heise that he would be unable to make the meeting. Not sure what is supposed to happen after that....alternate???
Thank you again for your response, and perhaps we will hear the rest of the story ( from the 3 other coaches) eventually...
I only hope that by bringing up this discussion this year,
that it is not allowed to happen next year...very disappointing for the players involved.
