All State Defense 3A

[Dogman_1969]

I saw where the all state defense was named. I was really surprised by a couple of selections......

The best defender I saw all year was Alonzo Whaley LB from Madisonville. Big, fast with a nasty streak and a nose for the ball carrier.

Hands down the best.......

Dude

Post it

[g$$]

I thought it was not released until after all playoff games had been played? If so, post it please.

The AP is usually posted the last week of State Champ games and the other sportswriter's All State team is posted after play-offs

Giddings' Dock named 3A's top defensive player
Buffaloes LB headlines 3A all-state football team
Thursday, December 21, 2006

Central Texas placed just one player on the Class 3A All-State football team, but he was one of the best.

Giddings linebacker Alan Dock, a junior who led the Buffaloes to the state quarterfinals, was named Class 3A's defensive player of the year. He led Giddings in tackles last year as well, but turned in 167 tackles this season along with five sacks, a pair of interceptions and six forced fumbles.

Gilmer quarterback G.J. Kinne Jr., who transferred to Gilmer this season after leaving Canton amid alleged threats in the wake of his father's shooting there in 2005, repeated as 3A's offensive player of the year.

Three Central Texans made the second team — Liberty Hill running back Brent Bode, Liberty Hill defensive lineman Marlowe Poitier and Wimberley defensive lineman Len Thompson.

Honorable mention selections from the area included Giddings quarterback Brock Fitzhenry, Liberty Hill running back Doug Allman, Liberty Hill linebacker Cody Lattimore and Wimberley linebacker Chad Skunda.

The all-state team was voted upon by the Associated Press Sports Editors based on regular-season performances. The Class 4A team will be released today.

Austin American Statesman website has it

Royse City placed 3 on HM......I'm proud for those 3, but should have been higher

[KTA]

im not trying to hate, but how does Chance McCoy get 2nd team all state, and Whiteside from Vernon (who litterally carried his team) not even get mentioned? This is crap

[dogdad]

KTA, this team is nominated by newspaper writers. If you look over the list, some areas are represented well and others are not at all. I don't think Robinson had anyone listed. That Kitchens kid is good. I suspect that the newspaper that covers them did not turn in nominations. It's like this every year.

Exactly right, & why I put no stock in this list. Wait 'til the Coaches' Team is announced for a more complete list.

[Orange_Defense]

KTA I'm not trying to Hate here either but Whiteside didn't show me much last Saturday when they played us in Denton. From what I saw I would have been shocked if they did mention him.

You are hating. He is the only back that ran over 100 yards on the Celina defense. Must say something about the guy. Had 200 yards rushing three games in a row in the playoffs. He will be signing a letter of intent to play at a DI University (I heard either Texas Tech or Texas A&M).

Give him credit.
