Made first team as Athlete.

 

I saw the list earlier this week and it did have him as first team "Athlete." Did I miss it on the printed list in the linked article?

I was going to say the same about Jared Lonaker. He not only led NKY in passing but also the state. I thought he at least deserved 2nd team

honors.

 

For those not familiar with his accomplishments in his only year starting as a varsity qb Jared threw for over 3000 yds in 11 games (over 500 more than Tanner Morgan who had more games 12). He also threw for 31 TD's (8 more than Tanner Morgan who again had more games to do so) and had only 6 INT's compared to 7 by Morgan.

 

What hurt Lonaker this season was it was his first and only season as a starting qb and no one knew of him going into the season. If any other qb in the area had previous seasons as a starter they would be lauding his accomplishments and stating he was one of the best in the state but because he was unheard of people continue to dismiss one of the best seasons in NKY history.

Nice QB but I didn't think it was really close between him and Mayer. Mayer's better.

 

QB is a tough one when it comes to all-star teams. Lots of good QBs get left off the list.

Not taking anything away from Lonaker, but he had about 60 more attempts than Morgan. Flip the stats and Morgan would probably be the passing king. Lonaker had some rushing yards but Racke had 600 on the ground and split some time with Schearer, which did quash his stats a little bit.

I'm going to disagree. While I think Lonaker benefited greatly from being able to throw the ball up to Hendrix, he was easily a better passer than Racke and Mayer.

While you are entitled to your opinion Lonaker is more than "just nice" as you put it and to make the comment that you don't think is was even close with no explanation is a head scratcher.

Lonaker's resume speaks for itself. When a 1st year starter leads the State with over 3000 passing yards and 31 TDs and also showed toughness rushing for more than a couple hundred yards he is more than just nice.

Mayer is very good as well so I don't take anything away from him and he lead his team very well.

Are we sure he 60 more attempts? Cooper still has not reported stats for their last game.

To be clear I said "nice."

 

Great stats. Great year for Lonaker. We're talking about a good group of QBs.

 

Mayer wins with a better arm and a better overall athlete.

They should do big school and small school divisions. There is no way you can compare the players from 1A and 2A schools against 5A and 6A. Schedules are completely different and more challenging at the 5 and 6A levels. That way kids from all over NKy would get recognition compared to like players. It is ludicrous to leave off a kid because they feel obligated to put kids in from small schools that do not play near the schedule week in and week out.

 

Let's break it down by class. 12 teams, 2 for each class. That way, everyone gets recognition and no one gets their feelings hurt....:ohbrother:

 

Why can't we just congratulate the kids that made it and be done with it?

It doesn't matter how good your arm is if you aren't accurate and make bad decisions. Give me Lonaker.

Shutting out Ryle's OL, Ross and Bisek and their DL, Pendleton is a little surprising.

On the of the bottom defense list.

Totally agree also the linebacker Jackson High.

Can't believe I forgot High. Yes, he definitely belongs there too.

58% to 54%

 

Not accurate ?

Maybe if Cooper won the big games Lonaker would have got some love.
