Let the :bigcry: begin!

[Adidas410s]

looks like another status quo year for Abilene Wylie. 12-2 record...another trip deep into the playoffs...an offense that averages over 35 points a game...no players named all-state. Just the way we like it! :)

from my limited view this year...I think the first team list looks pretty accurate. Of course some people will want Johnson from Gilmer as a 1st-team RB...but you can't really make a strong case why he's above any of the guys that are first team.

[clemsmarina]

Just wondering....who does the voting? :thinking:

Nevermind, I see it's the AP Editors. Enough said!!!:rolleyes:

[navscanmaster]

Two things shock me:

Dustin Eskew, China Spring - Honorable mention - Over 3000 yards passing, 36 TD to 6 INT. Seems like a pretty darn good year to me.
Trey Rauschek, Navasota - First Team - Nevermind the kid is just a flat out good defender, a Rattler defender made first team all state! Who would have seen that coming?

Your right it is a joke. Liberty Hill had 3 kids make All State last year, Lattimore LB, Marlow DE and Allman RB.

This year Allman and Gonzales make honorable mention.

I guess those guys were not as good this year as they were last year. :hand: :hand:

[coach]

congrats to all but i want to send a special congrats to gavin bass of fairfield he was on a bad team but stood out he was literally a diamond in the rough

[Pmoney]

well the stats are wrong....Clay had 3,167 yds and 42 TDs and Samia played all 15 games

[Sweetwater Red]

The one that I thought might make it for Sweetwater did. That
being Jr. Rufus McCann.:clap:


Clay Hirt is only a Jr.:eek:

It seems like he's been playing for 5 years already.:D

[lynx_rufus]

Congratulations to the seven young men from Celina.

[ronwx5x]

Seem to be missing last year's defensive player of the year, Alan Dock, LB, Giddings?

[big daddy russ]

For everyone who didn't realize it, playoffs don't count in the AP All-State polls. Those are Will Clay's regular season numbers.

Also, I don't understand the whole process, but I know there's a lot that goes into it that most don't understand. I believe the coaches MUST submit all of a player's stats for that player to be considered. This poll is based on this year's production (the numbers they put up) first and foremost and their recommendations and apparent dominance second.

If your player isn't on here, it might not be these guys' faults at all. Not a single Ingleside player is on here and we have a few kids going on to play college ball. Doesn't mean it's the editors' faults for not putting any of them on there, because an editor in Amarillo is unlikely to know much about a kid down in the Valley outside of their stats (and sometimes college committments). That's the only constant, so that's what they go on.

Yea thats what I was about to bring up.


And Justin Johnson(Gilmer) made second team and he's going to OU.

Thats crazy when Will Clay makes 1st team. I don't know were Will will end up at:thinking: I heard A&M from a cousin but dont know

Argyles kicker: Ben Parks should be 1st team punter/kicker!

[Centextrash]

This is a joke...

Where are the Gilmer Lineman?
Where is ANYONE off of Liberty Hill's Defense?
Where is Dock?
Where is either one of the Parr brothers?
Where is ANYONE from Abilene Wylie?

Well I don't guess they made it.

[WylieBulldog92]

I'm sorry for Liberty Hill if they hadn't made or won state, they might be here with Wylie...

[bobcat1]

Congrats to all that made the list and their supporting cast including team mates, coaches, parents and fans that helped them achieve this honor. :clap: :clap: :clap:

I thought the McNeil kid from Roosevelt was better than the 1st Team QB...definitely better than Gilmers

dang right:D

[bandera7]

...I dont understand how the Bandera RB Franklin Brown was not on there. Maybe his stats werent good enough, but you can ask any who played against him. He was a game breaker and an outstanding player...

really?
and how many times did you watch those 3 this year?

[cat_eyes76]

:clap: Congratultions to all the players listed and to the ones that weren't but that we all know deserve mention for an outstanding season.

[Txbroadcaster]

I watched all 3. and I think McNeil was the best out of the three..Him and Morrison were 1 and 1A, but I like Vincent more because of his mobility

That is exactly what I was thinking, but didn't want to look like I am on here crying:D

He was hurt at the end of the year, but was still outstanding all y year including when he was injured. He deserved to be on their somewhere.

Gotta agree with this. Stump did well for a sophomore, but he's not in McNeil's league yet.

Head-to-head, Vincent McNeil Jr. made Richard Morrison look like he was still playing Pop Warner ball by comparison.

But, as others have said, it's based on the regular season.

[Daddy D 11]

those honors have alot of surprises in them, there is alot of WTH's?

[Texasfootball2]

One thing to remember is the AP team is voted by the press and not the coaches. Often teams that go deep into the playoffs are overlooked. My opinion is because while the coaches of these teams are focused on winning games still, the coaches of those teams not in the playoffs or of teams who loose in the first round are sitting around pumping resume's full of stats to the press. Also teams like Liberty Hill and Abilene Wylie will have 4 or 5 kids that rush for 600+ yards instead of one kid rush for 2000+. The press is impressed by stats. I am surprised that LH didn't have more defensive players make it though.

[Daddy D 11]

thats what i was surprised most about. last year i believe we had 2 defensive all staters on the first and second team and this year we came up empty? and they had tremendously better years, stats wise and impressive wise if thats a proper way to put it?

[Daddy D 11]

but hey, im not upset, just a little confused. its all gravy though, we are right hand heavy and thats fine with us :D

LH had one over 2000 yds (Gonzales) and another just under (Alman), plus three more that combined were at least 1500. But what surprises me the most was the deletion of Marlowe Poitier at LH on D-line.. he had a huge season and playoff run as a disruptive force especially on pass rush… even better than last year when he made the all-state list. When does a coaches poll come out? Or does it? Come on.. not even an honorable mention??

[Daddy D 11]

howd the boys do last night hill man?

losy by 6 -- too many turn overs and trying too many outside shoots without working it in by all... something is not klicking yet with this team.

[Daddy D 11]

dang. La Vega is a pretty good squad from what i hear though. and they will click, they are playing a gauntlet of a scuedule right now.

sad mostly... I am sure there are dozens are deserving but didn't make it like Marlowe... Just sad for them not to get some recognition on a state level that they deserve after making an impact that is worthly... I guess when you only have some many slots to fill you can't name them all.......

true. there is always going to be names left out. but there seems to be more in this years addition than last. 2006 they seemed to nail right on the head.

[Runnin Panther]

In my mind there can on be one of two things that caused LH not to have some of our players make 1st or 2nd team all state.
1. Coach Vance was to busy winning another state championship and did not submit LH player stats.
2. Austin American Statesman who should be pushing for local kids to make it did not support LH kids.

Thats my guess anyway.

2. No comment :eek:

The AAS not pushing LH is a given...we always get just limited attention durring the season and only then if we win state. That was a nice pic of Coach and the boys after the game on the front half of Sports section however It always seems we are the second cousins to the 4a and 5a area schools when it comes to attention no mater the success through out the season.. This year or last...

Congrats to everyone who was selected. Sad but true, there were many deserving players around the state not chosen.

[duckpluck]

I know all the kids on the list are deserving. Its just a shame no one from LH made it. I agree, some local sports writers probably dropped the ball on it and I am sure there a lot of Metroplex media that have votes. More so than Central Texas.

[3afan]

actually aren't the voters the same who voted for the weekly poll? if so they are pretty much evenly spread out ...

[Black_Magic]

Some of Go blues replacements may make the team... District 3-3A All district JV team that is;)

NO. Each daily newspaper a member of the AP has one vote. The paper's sports editor usually is the voter.

Van's Calhoun, Palacios' Buckley top 3A team
By PAUL J. WEBER

Associated Press Writer


DALLAS — Van running back Jermie Calhoun now has something to distinguish himself from Adrian Peterson.

Routinely compared to the Minnesota Vikings rookie since his freshman year, Calhoun won Class 3A Offensive Player of the Year honors Tuesday, snaring an award that eluded Peterson in high school.

At 6-feet and 210 pounds, Calhoun and his bullish style of breaking tackles remind many of Peterson, the East Texas star who played about 60 miles from Van at Palestine.

"Their running styles mimic each other a lot," Van coach Brady Pennington said. "(Jermie) has big legs and a strong upper body, but what intrigued everybody was here is this big back that can run over you, but he also has little-back moves."

Palacios linebacker Aaron Buckley was named defensive player of the year on the 18th annual Associated Press Sports Editors team. Selections were based on regular-season performance, and ballots were cast by sportswriters from across Texas.

Calhoun rushed for 1,910 yards and scored 30 touchdowns in his final season at Van. He leaves with 6,214 yards rushing and 98 touchdowns.

Like Peterson, Calhoun is headed to Oklahoma. Peterson ran for nearly 2,100 yards his senior year at Palestine in 2003, but he finished behind Ennis quarterback Graham Harrell for top offensive honors in 4A.

At Palacios, Buckley didn't draw too many comparisons — mostly because the historically losing program along the Texas coast never had many players of his caliber.

Behind Buckley and running back Henry Solis, a second-team selection, Palacios made the playoffs for the first time in 43 years. Buckley, who has orally committed to Texas A&M, finished the season with 147 tackles, 13 sacks and 10 forced fumbles.

"Ever since I was a freshman we'd hear about how Palacios hadn't made the playoffs in 40-something years," he said. "I'm happy with what I did this year."

Celina led 3A with four first-team selections: offensive lineman Adam Thomas; defensive linemen Troy Franklin and Breck Holman; and defensive back D'Anton Lynn. They will lead the Bobcats against China Spring in the Division II championship on Saturday.

Royse City junior Richard Morrison, who threw for nearly 2,900 yards and 30 touchdowns, was selected as first-team quarterback.

This list is crap.

Agreed

How can Dexter Pratt be second team AS and Caldwell's Xavier Canto be an honorable mention? Canto was co-offensive MVP of the district. He had fewer carries, a higher per/carry average, more yards rushing (stats are regular season only), and more touchdowns. He ran all over Navasota when they played head to head. Canto got ripped.

In my mind there can on be one of two things that caused LH not to have some of our players make 1st or 2nd team all state.
2. Austin American Statesman who should be pushing for local kids to make it did not support LH kids.

Information & stats WERE turned into the Statesman, but I am not surprised by the lack of support.

the only area player that the statesman covers that actually got some credit as fitzhenry. (imagine that) the statesman is a joke of a paper, not only is the sports a sorry excuse for information, so is the rest of the paper.

Your right it is a joke. Liberty Hill had 3 kids make All State last year, Lattimore LB, Marlow DE and Allman RB.

This year Allman and Gonzales make honorable mention.

I guess those guys were not as good this year as they were last year. :hand: :hand:

Its all about politics and how much some coaches "boost" their kids numbers...

Dock was the player of the year last year and didn't get ANYTHING this year, i refuse to believe all those linebackers on that list are better than dock
