KYBaller1011 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 I was wondering which other Districts didn't participate in having an All-Tournament Team besides the 40th district? I had never heard of coaches voting against having one. Just curious....

STRIKE3 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 While I'm not a big fan, of awarding individual accolades, in a team concept, I do understand it generates effort by the players. The recognition for a Senior, for example, is well worth it, since not many opportunities exist in Baseball, to be honored. I think the players enjoy it, fans and parents do, so if the format is agreed upon before hand, than it should be done. Looks good on a college recruiting questionnaire, also.
ragin royal 80 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I know for sure the 39th had one. I think it is up to the host school whether or not there is a team selected.
BaseballFan13 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 The 59th didnt have one. They had a tournament MVP, but no tournament team.
Hilltopper2005 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Many times its a name thing rather than a performance thing anyway. In my opinion there shouldn't be all tournament teams.
KYBaller1011 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks everyone. I was just wondering cuz all the other people I had talked to had them. I believe there should be one because I think the kids deserve a little recognition & yes it does look good when filling out your college questionairres. And I agree sometimes it is a name thing cuz believe me I have seen that happen many times (like this year in the 40th District Softball Tournament), but I still believe the ones that do receive it for great play shouldn't be punished cuz some coaches have favorites or whatever it may be.
JohnLex7 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I did not see one posted for the 43d, but they may just wait for the all-city teams in Lexington for that recognition.
Coachg13207 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I hate all-tournament teams in team sports. I agree and disagree .If it is voted on by reporters and others who really do not know the game it is bad OR DO IT BY STATS . If voted on by your pears who appreciate the game the way it should be played than it is good IMO.

I understand what others are saying about the individual recognition in a team sport, but those guys work hard & if they have a stand-out game(s) then they deserve to be recognized for it especially in a post season setting. I also understand that sometimes it's hard to pick a couple individuals if the team didn't have a star for the game(s) or if all seemed to be stars that game. I know when I received something like that it just made my day & made me want to strive to get even better.
