[/ QUOTE ] Simmons may have made ALL REGION DIV. 3 but this is for the entire REGION IV. LITTLE DIFFERENT, both Divisions (3 & 4) are included. For example there are several Bearcats that made All Region for Divisions 3 but didnt make it for Region IV after all teams where included. Eggleston the RB from Va High was an All Region selection from Div. 3 but didnt make the cut here. There are others but that is just one example.

olewave 44 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 there is no division 3 or 4 individual teams. there is a coaches team ( due in Jan. ) and the ap team done by sportswriters who have never seen half of the players on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Simmons should be first team regardless. His exclusion is further proof of how politicaly skewed these things are. Hopefully the problem will correct itself next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preps omitted the names of D.J. Simmons from Richlands, DeShawn Strickland of Magna Vista, and Allen Eccleston of Virginia High. They all made 1st team all-region. You can see the complete all-region team (including both division 3 and division 4 players) in the Dec 19th editions of both the Bluefield and Bristol papers. I am sure all other papers across the state had the complete listings also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
