ouch!!! You can tell that there is not many if any sports writers in the Jasper area. Patton was left off and he is D1. 1 first team and 1 honorable mention!!??

[UPanIN]

Hey 44INAROW, My bad too. I got that list from the Bryan Eagle and they only listed the Brazos Valley kids. I sure didn't want to leave anyone out. It's an honor for all on the list.

We'll have to get on these regional papers and tell them that the DOWNLOW is a full service forum and we like to report ALL THE NEWS :)..........

[Black_Magic]

Snyder has 5 listed. 2 will be back next year. both on D . congrats guys.

[Macarthur]

I know we get tired of people coming on here bitching about who should and should not have made the list, but I do have one glaring omission.

Tyler Duggins, Jr. OL, from Iowa Park. 6'6" 265lbs. All-dist soph & jr year (1st team) and texasprepxtra.com's 1st team all-west texas OT (all classifications).

By my count there were about 15 OT's on the list. For him to not be on the list of the top 15 tackles in 3A is a joke. Based on the amount of interest he is getting from D1 programs, he most likely will be in the top 10 OT's in the entire state for the recruiting class of 2006.

There are several kids on team that played IP on this list, and there was not single Friday night this year when there was a "better" lineman on the field than Duggins. And that includes the 4A all-state DT from Wichita Falls, David Gross, who got a good butt whipping that night.

[StangMom2]

Congrats to all who made All-state......especially to Kendal, Josh & Zach from Sweetwater and Eric from Snyder.....
I am very proud of ya'll.

my feelings about Franco as well....

and it sucks when your area sportswriters dont like your High School. Sinton High School is the one high school in the area that, unless they lose as they did to Cuero twice and Gregory Portland, will not get a front page article. Its one of those danged if you do, danged if ya dont situations.
