Keep in mind, this is voted on by the coaches across the state. They make these determinations based on film they see and games they see certain players. IF a kid doesn't stand out in those few instances, then they usually don't garner a vote. Coaches also swap players for votes to get their kids on the list. Also keep in mind, most of you are like the coaches, you don't see many games outside your region of the state. Fans have bias...so do coaches. I know of several kids that are on the list because of their dad's being coaches...nothing wrong with it in my book. It is what it is. Congrats to all the kids that made the teams! This will mean something to those kids. It usually doesn't correlate to college recruiting, colleges don't concern themselves with stats either. Height, weight, 40, look test, and camp performances are what get your scholarship solidified, not newspaper clips. LOL

I Agree with Dark Horse...Congrats to all the players, what an accomplishment for these young men. Politics, favoritism and horse trading will always be part of the story line. If a player didn’t get selected don’t get all tore up..College recruiters don't put much stock in these lists. They look for players that fit their system and have the measurable to play on Saturday.

Coach Wolfe must be a great coach...15-0 on the season, 6A State Champion, and 7 on 7 National Champion and all that with no All State first teamers...

Class of 2015 was loaded with college talent...based on the 1st team selections, not sure 2016 will be as loaded.

We can do Meade County

 

Meade County= Missouri

 

The little engine that could in big boy football. Frequently overmatched with talent, not the household name of the other elite powers they must compete with, and geographically in an area where the media attention is minimized. With that said, they just find ways to win big games and factor into the Championship picture, just haven't won the ultimate prize. More prone to rebuilding years than some of their counter parts, when they are good though they are very good. A solid program from top down that often flies under the radar.

Thanks...

Has Meade ever beaten Trinity? Not trying to be smug, I know they beat X in 2001. Just saying that since you referenced "Alabama" and they were compared to Trinity.

No I don't think we have. But we have beaten Male & St X. I think last year was the first time we have ever played Trinity.

I dont see how you selected Central Hardin over Meade..Meade has 14 District Championships..8 Regional Championships..4 Semi-State Runner-ups and 2 State Runner-ups, is listed as the 49th best program in Ky overall all time and has already beaten the Alabama, LSU's, or Ohio States's of the world . Central has 2 District..1 Regional..1 State Semi. Granted they had 1 good year.

Last year’s team had roughly 19 All state and 12 or so D1 signees. College Coaches from D2, NAIA & D3 attend the practices. Very good event, probably most prestigious All Star game in the State. Last year’s game was televised.

Rosters should be posted soon.

There is no reason there cannot be a mid-west private league (KY, IN, TN, OH). Hell these teams are already playing private schools outside Ky.

"Yes, they have similar (skill position) athletes. If you knew North and Male like I knew North and Male then you'd agree...clearly you don't. But athletes don't make a team, it's a lot more than to it than just the skill guys....we all know that. Without a sufficient line, athletes become obsolete."

We have played both and I can tell u there are night and day as far as athletes

To be honest..CH this year is not as good as last year's team and that team got throttled by Meade in the Regional game last year. The problem is CH really hasn't played anyone in the playoffs that could prepare them for what they will see this friday night. Meade played just about as hard of a schedule in the playoffs last year (Henry Clay..Scott Co..CH..Trinity) as you probably can play and Meade still wasn't ready for what Trinity brought. That's not a bust on Meade or CH (The coaches do an outstanding job with the talent they have). Trinity and Male play in the toughest 6A district, face the best competition week to week and in Trinity’s case outside the state. That prepares them for the playoffs. That’s not saying it can’t be done..because Meade has done it. Just like Trinity last year, Male is just on a whole different level athletically this year. Good Luck CH !!! Nate keep posting those stats !!!

Hardin County Preps..Obviously u didn't review the schedules that close. If I remember CH lost 42-6 at Bowling Green. First, I wouldn't call that a competitive game..second they lost 24-3 to South Warren again not very competitive. Name one quality win for CH? Male has beaten Trinity (Twice)..St. X..Manual (Twice) and PRP. its one thing to play a team on your schedule its a whole different story beating those teams or even being competitive.

Really..North Hardin has similar athletes as Male. If that was the case NH would be playing Friday. Don't forget Male won the National 7 on 7 tourament and completes in the hardest district in 6A.

Central barely beat a McCracken team (10-7) with a freshman QB. This one is not close, Male by at least 4 TDs. Central hasn't played a team this year with the athletes they will see friday night.

The McCracken D-line will be the difference. Arnette isn't that dominate when facing a dominate D-Line or physical fast LBs (Meade vs Central last year in the regionals). Central will need to strike early and get McCracken off balance to win.

McCracken-28

Central-21

Really every game is a big rivalry. Hey it might be a big rivalry on central side. That's thier choice if they think Meade is a big rivalry. I'm just telling u that to Meade it really isn't a rivalry...winning two games in 14 years isn't a rivalry. John Hardin and for that point Horth Hardin are bigger rivals to Meade. We will see if central can become a sustained powerhouse in the district. My guess is no...

This is not much of a rivalry. Meade has only lost twice in the past 14 years. Last year's regular season game was only won by 1 point in which Meade was missing some keys pieces. We see what happened in the championship game when those pieces were healthy. Rivalries take years to develop..On paper Central should win..but they shouldn't take Meade lightly even in a rebuilding year. Good luck to both teams Friday!!!

Think long and hard before taking any kind of walk-on spot. I would ask the coach how many walkon or PWO schollies has the program given out in the last few years. There is no extra benefits to being a PWO vs a WO...except u probably will go to camp..for D1 that's only 105 players. Do your research and be realistic better to go to a lower division and play and get $$ then being a D1 walk-on and not playing.

Its not about number of seniors graduating it the number of seniors graduating that started. Meade this year has 2 returners on defense (One of those was not a starter last year) and the other is ok. Meade, I think had 2 on offense.. maybe 3. That's not to take anything away from Desales.

"I have to say that once again, Meade has no stand-out players in the skill positions -- no one who really sparks the team to reach a higher level. This is the case year after year"....I guess you didn't watch the games last year..

OK....but the fact also is that Male competes with and beats X and T on a regular basis. You've stated that Male would lose 80% of the time. They don't.

How many state titles does Male and Manual have?

They have? Could you elaborate more because I'm not aware of anything like a "mid west private school league" that you suggested, anywhere. I'd like to know more if one exists.

I will get back to u on that one. I believe several states divide public and private.

This will NEVER happen. As I said before, who runs and manages it?? How do you get the other schools to pull out of their state affiliation, and really why should they?? There is no precedent for this, and to my knowledge multi state athletic conference doesn't exist. Sure some state have separated publics and privates, but those states have many more school.

Other states have worked it out. The private schools are smart they would figure it out. Maybe it wont happen, but its a viable solution. All you raise is road blocks as your objection.
