There are 3 goalkeepers, 4 defenders, 6 midfielders, and 5 forwards on the 4A All-State team. Isn't this supposed to be a TEAM of the best players in the state. What team carries 3 goalkeepers and 15 field players?? It looks like it is tough to get recognized as a defender in the state of South Carolina.

Why should all of the regions be represented? Just because they have teams? Following that logic why not just name the best players from the Upper and Lower State Championship participants- the final four- because obviously they have shown on the field , where it counts, that they are the best. And All State is supposed to be the best players in the State. Time was in SC High School, at least in basketball and baseball, that only players whose teams reached the finals were even considered for All State



In wrestling, the last 8 guys in the tournament make All-State. Regardless of how well your season ended, if you didn't make top 8, you were not all State.

I think the best way is regional. That is only the true measure of how great players are. Or cap the team members like in Clash or N/S.

My suggestion was to try and help the teams that aren't represented well get at least a player. It's not easy for the coaches in the Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head areas to get the meeting to speak up for their kids. It shouldn't be the loudest voice in the room that is heard.
I understand that the all state team should be the best of the best but that is tough to measure because unlike individual sports, the best players don't make it to the end.
Schools/players shouldn't be punished because they can't attend the Viking Cup or Brookland-Cayce's tournament to get exposure.
I'm not saying my suggestion is the best way, or even a good way, I was just throwing it out there. If you don't agree with the system in place or don't agree with the suggestions being made, don't just criticize them, make your own suggestions. That is what a forum is meant to be used for. Not just trash talking behind an anonymous screen name (not saying that is happening in the thread).
