BEARCAT 10 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 This is in response to everyone who has once again trashed our players and coaches, this time in regard to the all region team. Who picks these teams? The Head Coaches. so, coach smith shows up, well prepared, and pushes for his kids. He makes the case for all his players he feels should be in the running. Other schools in both the highlands and swd don't even have a coach show up to push their players. So which Coach should catch the all the negative stuff? I think the ones who didn't show up or the ones who didn't stick up for their guy if he was more deserving. Richlands - 7 1st teamers Va High 3 1st teamers As for our LB "who only played for games", He played all the district games and was clearly the best defensive player in the district. As a result, he was named defensive player of the year in the disrict. That usually means a player is a lock to atleast be on the all region 1st team, which he was. I'll add, i think he deserved it. Same thing with Eccleston on offense with his POY in the highlands. Can't wait to have him back next year! Only other 1st teamer was Sullins, so what is the problem?

oldskool 10 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I know that there are some very good players on this list but I think that TJ Carper is definately one of the best DB's in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
