Congratulations to those so honored.

 

H-L All-State team

I would but Rachel Lantry on the 1st team ahead of Amber Norton.

Yes,I saw Notron play 3 times this year alone she was not the

best player on her team IMO.

 

Lantry definetly,at the very least, 2nd team ahead of Brooke Faulkner.

 

NKY again gets next to nothing as far as recognition by the rest of the state.

Are you trying to suggest Norton is not one of the 10 best players in the state???? Wow.

[Goliath]

Rose Hill with no player on the 1st or 2nd team... thats a laugher.

At the east/west allstar game Faulkner completely outplayed Lantry. I wasn't impressed with Lantry at all.

Actually Fay looked better than Lantry.

Then tell us who should come off, and who you think should be on in their place.

 

Nothing against the three Rose Hill girls who were listed honorable mention, but I've seen Rose Hill, and I've seen all the players on the first and second teams, and I can't definitively say they are better than anyone on the first/second teams. There's simply a lot of girls talent in the state, and you could make a case for a number of players to be on the first/second teams.

[marooncat]

the main problem with the all-state team is when the ballots are turned in before the district. If a player has a great post season to go along with a good season they still might not make it.

I am shocked to hear that,Fay usually just sits at the 3point line and shoots.

In this game.

I'm a bit suprised that at least one of them did not make the 1st or 2nd team, but the fact that Rose Hill placed three with Honorable Mentions says a lot about the team. Besides Lexington Catholic, Rose Hill, and Scott County, no other team in the state had more than one player listed at all. I'll join that elite company!

Need to write a letter to the editor of Lexington Herald Leader.

[Cubster]

I feel the 16th region had some other players who deserved at least honorable mention. Also any of the three RH girls could have made the first two teams. This region has top notch players and sometimes get snubbed in the voting.

This poll is based on coaches' votes.

[Frances Bavier]

This poll is based on coaches' votes.

 

If it is based on coaches' votes, then that explains why some areas of the state might not get the recognition that they deserve.

 

As for Jim Schue's question "Who would you take off, and who would you put on the team" - that is both a fair question, and one that can be asked of any (and every) all-star team.

 

In answer to that question, I can't say who I would take off the team (I haven't seen any of them play), but I'd definitely have to say that Queen would get my vote. And yes, I make no bones about the fact that I am biased. :thumb:

 

And as marooncat stated, the fact that the voting is done prior to the state tournament certainly wouldn't have helped in the case of Laura Terry (who absolutely tore it up at Diddle).
