Congrats to all these young men. Looks like a pretty good list a few could go one way or the other. Kevin Williams from Paintsville, I thought was the best TE in this district. Casey Rowe from Pikeville, one of the better DL in this district. I don't know if they voted by positions or just by players because it looks like very few lineman and most skill players and secondary. I guess the team could be loaded up with Hazard, Pikeville and Paintsville players but that's not good for the other teams morale. Glad to see each team have at least two players and I guess this could be reasoning for so many skill players. Didn't hear anything about coach of the year but I'm assuming it's Bill Mike Runyon from Paintsville.

Very nice looking group of young men on that list. Some VERY good players there. Congrats to all of them!

I never got to see this All-District team for the last two years. By chance, would anyone possible have that list scrapbooked or on record somewhere?? I would still like to see those. I was actually suprised to see this one.
