That is exactly what happens upstatesoccermom. Look at who sits on the selection committee, and then look at the players that were selected and the schools that they attend. In 2A boys there were two players that were selected that weren't represented by a coach on the committee. It was my understanding that this was an award based on individual merit not the accomplishments of the team that the player plays on. I would like to see the statistics of the players that were selected to see just how deserving they were.
I think it comes down to coaches having to decide if a player scores 30 goals against a poor schedule or if a player scores 15 against the state's best competition. It's a fine line no doubt!. That being said, I've seen the JL Mann girls play this year and they deserve five players on the All-State Team. I don't begrudge the others from getting 2-3 players. Those teams are elite with great players. What gripes me is a team that can get 1-2 players on the All-State Team but have a less than "great" season and exit the playoffs in the 1st or 2nd round. All-Region, sure! All-State, no way!
