Congrats to Kayla, Kacee & Kirs!!! :cheerl: :cheerl:

If I'm not mistaken this is Kacee's 3rd time making the All State cut!!! WTG Kacee!!

[Necks_Fan]

Atleast 5 girls from 24-3A and the district champs have not even one?


Natalie Rodriguez? We can't even get an honorable mention? We lost to the state champs by one run and beat the #1 team in the state 2 times....... This is crap.
:mad:

[maestro]

lots of this is based on:

did your coach get paperwork in to your sports writer or stat keeper of your district??

what was their working relationship???

yes, congrats to all but ???????? abound about others....

can anyone else shead light on this selection process??

sportswriters??? who does this include????

[Reds fan]

First, congratulations to all the young ladies listed!

Second, making this list all depends on coaches sending stats and information about their players. Not all coaches send info to TSW therefore there are going to be some really good players nowhere to be found on the list. Remember that accolades for High School ball are fun but not neccesarily the best source for players overall abilities.

with this in mind, don't take offense that some really fantastic players were not represented on this list.
