Mr. Football is automatically on the team. The coaches vote for the 2 QB's that will be on the team, in a statewide vote. 2 players from each region, all 4 classes combined, are voted on by the coaches from the region. When the selection committee meets in early February, there will be 11 players on the team already- Mr. Football, the 2 qb's, and the 8 players elected by the coaches from that region( 2 from each of the 4 regions). The remaining players are chosen by the committee on that Sunday. Coaches may recommend their players to the committee and all star staff, send video for evaluation, etc. The all star head coach does have alot of influence, but does not have the freedom to name the team, or remaining players, completely as he would without the committee. In the two times I have been a part of it, we came to a consensus somewhat. The process has worked well, and the results have been pretty good with this selection process. There are alot of good players that are not selected to the team, including some from my own school, because we have so many good players in the state now. It is tougher to get on the team now because football has improved so much in our state. If you have questions, PM me please. I would rather not get into a debate over this, but I did want to share how the process worked. Good luck to Kentucky in Knoxville. :thumb:

Good luck to Coach O'Hearn and the Royals!

Congratulations to an outstanding coach and person. He got a few of his 250 at our expense. :sssh:

Rock deserved to win, but Mason's QB had around 280 passing and the team had over 400 yards of offense. Our QB did a great job and the running game was effective as well. I won't begin to get into why we didn't win, just to say that Rock found a way to get one more point and congratulations to them on doing so. If our qb can produce each Friday like ours did in the Rock game, we will take it.

In the 2003 semifinals in the snow and wind, they played very well. No turnovers, executed well, strong defense, etc. I was pulling for the other team, but the Birds played a great game.

The primary reason I was interested in this was because we could go to a 9 game regular season. Most teams would play game #10 as a first round playoff game. The reason a 9 game regular season appealed to me was that we could back up the season 1-2 weeks to avoid some of the heat. The heat and concerns that go with it are not being mentioned much anymore if at all regarding six classes. But, originally, that is what made me think it might be worth looking at.

If he gets the most out of what he has, he will be successful. I am confident that he and his staff will do that. Good luck to Coach Pardue and the Rebels!

I dared theguru to start this thread after our fans had been mixing it up with eastern KY, northern KY, and then the Trinity fans. He called my bluff! Theguru and BGPreps have been a big part of publicizing Mason County football and the success of our kids and program. Our fans came through for us bigtime at Lawrence County. Their presence created a playoff atmosphere and built momentum for our team when we started to have some success. This thread, like most, is for fun and not to be taken seriously. My personal favorite was the post about the Royals playing the Buccaneers. That's the kind of stuff this thread was made for! :lol:

The guru is #84. The receding hairline, resembling that of his avatar, is beginning to make its move. Originally the photographer requested that these guys wear their helmets to hide their faces, but after fixing their hair for the pic the jaw pads couldn't get past their ears. These ex-football players are saving their white shoes and high socks for a possible remake of Saturday Night Fever.
