FYI: HSSR has been "promoting" high school athletics in SC for decades. The biggest gripe against it historically has been that some/most of its copy is "advertorial." In other words, you advertise, you get covered.
The selections can be very subjective. I've known several COYs in other sports who were absolutely undeserving.
That said ...
In looking at this list, I don't have many problems. It's tough to pick a high school league all-state team that covers all enrollments without leaving some very good players off, and the individual honorees make reasonable sense.
Now, all of the honorees get to be recognized at the HSSR spring sports banquet in Columbia.
