it's the paper's job to encourage coaches to vote, it's not part of any coaches job description. a coaches job is simple, to coach your team on and off the field. coaches will vote for guys from their area, because they see those guys play and have easy access to follow them. it actually takes some credibility out of it because you get all these votes, and other than count them, the journalist doesn't know what to do with them. some coaches are also extremely biased. im not a highlands fan, but leaving donovan mccoy off any of the QB spots is ridiculous.

my post earlier wasn't a complaint, but an observation. and by no means am i saying the kids on there don't deserve their spot. however, give us a stat about hunter bivin from apollo. a highly recruited lineman shouldn't be the sole reason a guy makes the team. what did the offense do behind him? how many sacks did he give up? if a paper wants to do an all state team, then they have to do some research on these guys. i work at a paper, i know the CJ has the resources and money to do that.

The AP named Sam Robey to their all-state squad when he was a sophomore! I believe name recognition might have played a huge role in this poll. Again, the C-J has been conducting this since 1917. Several coaches drove to Louisville and discussed the players in depth. 110 voted.
