BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Trevor Wagner got screwed. He was better than Bunch on the OL this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 The team is more about than what I originally thought, I approached it more like a college team. This is high scholl and while I truly try and judge the sport itself as objectively and with the same lense as other levels on a purely technical basis, I shouldnt. I should shut the hell up and let all these kids enjoy it. Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#BBN 128 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Not taking nothing away from any kid, but how do you select 20+ kids for all district honors? That is absurd.......pick 13-15 and be done.......seems like if you started this year and played any you made 1st or 2nd team all district. Definitely not what it used to be. 1inStripes, Grapeape and sup_rbeast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second team year in my opinion, great kid however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big ugly vol 92 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I don’t wanna name any kids, but for Ridgeview there are a couple undeserving and one in particular that got hosed. Just my opinion. I don’t know all these kids by name, but I for sure see a few head scratchers. Congrats to all though. Hope the kids are proud of the accomplishment. It was a good competitive year in the district.

Honestly thought I would see more 1st team OL from Ridgeview. I guess they wanted to even it out. I thought Mullins did a good job for us at QB when McAmis when downI thought honestly we wouldn't have anyone so I guess it all worked out. big ugly vol and #BBN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapeape 259 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 It’s an honor just to be nominated. seriously, 11 on 1st team & 11 on 2nd. Would have liked to see #75 on the 1st team for GC, but hey, life goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are always a few political picks and there definitely are on this list but it’s always been that way and always will.

I would not call it a participation trophy for everyone cause there are 7 teams in the district. Each coach is trying to get some attention for their players.

That_guy 52 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yeah Ridgeview Off and Def POY that's a joke!!! They've choked 2 years in a row. Polier from Union got rippped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapeape 259 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Post season awards have less to do with the player than how hard the school’s HC pushes for them at the meeting. This list shows me that Coach Turner emphasizes post season honors more than other HCs, & that’s fine. A nomination is going to have a positive impact on a kid, so 30 kids on first team O or D means that many more kids are going to feel pride in their playing time. I’m cool with that. Downward trending participation has been widely discussed & expanded post season honors could be one more tool to combat that trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you on the Def POY. I don't think Ridgeview deserved it however I think Polier is where he should have been. I also think that OL POY should have went to the kid from Abingdon alone. By having all these kids getting awards is teaching them nothing. You have some that got 2nd team who are better than some who got 1st. Some got HM who should have gotten 1st or 2nd. In the end everyone won I guess LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It teaches kids nothing. Heck if I were a kid and done the math its not hard to figure out that I can miss x # of practices and have a certain % that I will make 1st, 2nd, or HM regardless.

GoBearsGo 142 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Gotta love “grown ups” hiding behind a keyboard calling kids out by name for as a “joke”being recognized for a good season. If there are kids from “your” team that you have a problem with take it up with your HC. I strongly doubt any kid on this list was missing practice every week.
