There's a first time for everything, LOL

 

Looking back at the initial team (2003) the Athletes named certainly bear out that line of thinking.

Now an "All-State" type of talent for something completely different than football.

 

One of the best singer song-writers in Kentucky and lead vocals for the well known Sundy Best

Also, anyone from BGP can nominate any player in the state. Just need to turn in the nomination in time.

This year, if you were an offensive lineman, it helped if your first name was Cole (2) or Colby (1).

Or you played for Belfry or went D1 to the Crimson Tide.

I will not embarrass myself claiming I know which players are better than every player listed.

 

I will say this. If the selected corners are better at the position than Hendrix ( I know he made the team) then they are REALLY strong.

 

Congrats to all. Tough team to make.

The only player who didn't make the team off of the SK/Ryle list provided that had a solid argument would be Tanner Morgan. Two different style QBs when it comes to him and Walker Wood.

After watching Hendrix play Football and Hoops all I know is I want him on my team.

 

Maybe we should call them Elite Athletes instead of Athletes.

Walker Wood would make a great addition to the Athlete Team.

 

I even got with Coach Shaw to see if we could fit Wood onto our Athlete Team but it was a no go.

 

And I agree Morgan is great!

Congrats to all.

 

Does Athlete mean that the players played multiple positions?

Congrats to all.

Yes.

Hendrix and Paulson were chosen.

 

Out of curiosity:

How many of those guys have already made First or Second Team on the previously announced All-State Teams ? Brian Carter maybe?

 

I can only speak for the Ryle kids, but Morgan (QB), Chisholm (RB), Ross (OL) and Bisek (OL) were named to one or more All State Teams.
