Can't argue with any of the selections / omissions. However, it seems odd that a consensus Top 5 team in the Commonwealth (Highlands -- no need to get that argument started here) merits only a 3rd Team DL position and some honorable mentions. I guess TEAM is more important than individual players.

Congrats to all.

All I can say is WOW!!! I guess they don't play football in Nky??

I totally agree. A few on the list obviously belong, but NKY definitely getting some disrespect in regards to "all state".

I have to wonder what matters most, PR or actual play.

PR in some cases.....

Congrats to everyone selected I'm sure its well deserved.

 

Special Congratulations to the Rebels selected.

You young MEN make the Rebel nation proud.

No qb made first team but Mayfield's Luke Guhy is the 2nd team qb. Mayfield is very well represented. KIngston first team all state is great and Jackson is the only sophmore on the first or second team. Several Card HM's as well.

More incentive for Highlands QB Patrick Towles to go from Honorable Mention to "Mr Football" in 2011.....

One word JOKE, these guys call themselves experts. How does Jon Davis not make 1st team? Let me see, ESPN top 150, Offers out the WAZOO, plays both sides of the ball, 4 time all district in arguably the state's toughest district. Voted onto the Best of the Bluegrass all star team so on and so on. Yet, because of the need to vote for your buddies kids the better player suffers. No disrespect to any first teamer but Jon would have been a better choice than most. He is deciding his college future( Schools in power conferences) while some of these guys are sifting between offers from NAIA and DIII schools. Sad that coaches trade their votes with their buddies. Some well deserving kids really get the shaft. Now I see why football is the red headed step child in this State. Maybe, we should ask Coach Philips or Coach Strong if Jon is 1st team. JOKE

So there was no 1st team qb? I've never seen that before.

Let me state that I've never seen the kid play so I can't say if he is a 1st teamer or not.

 

With that said your reasoning is flawed. There are kids who will end up playing D1 that do NOT put up the production that non-D1 kids do. This is not a measurement of your D1 potential. It's a measurement of your productivity THIS YEAR ON THE FIELD. Again, maybe he deserved to be. I don't know but your rant is irrational and childish.

Right on the money JPA. I would probably guess that their isnt one of those kids mentioned that wouldnt trade their individual selection for a Team Ring unless the kid is one of the fortunate ones. Congrats to all that were selected.

As to Highlands lacking players I say it's a compliment to the program.
