Well our players that made the all defensive team deserved the honor. You can cause 5 turnovers & someone else get the actual steal. So numbers dont tell the whole story. They work their butt off every possession & anyone watching can see that. Coaches who vote on this dont care as much about numbers as the effect that player has against the flow of their offense. As for 3rd team, I think you could throw Crowder, Gore, Qualls, Miller, Dillon, or Clark in there(I would hate to try & pick 2 out) This team is that balanced. I think we got snubbed on 2nd team & hands down Gore is most improved!

Stats don't lie... Post them for people to see. Get a defensive award and lead the team in turnovers. What about steals? Forced turnovers? What if your bench player had more steals per game? Blocks? Defensive rebounds? To be chosen for an award one most have top production in one category, just like1st team honorees.How can you reward one for less production?

Do you honor for friendship, seniority or intelligence? If so,name an award and give it to them.

Stats don't lie..... They just confirm the production.

My panties have a way of getting in a wad when someone gets on here and makes an idiotic statement such as the one you made, saying a selection of a certain player or players was 'dishonorable', or the 'stats' say they don't deserve a certain award. It's too bad that every young athlete who plays their heart out every week doesn't get recognized as they should. Sadly that's not the way it is. I don't think the selections are always entirely fair, but they are what they are. If you have a player who you think should be recognized, by all means, promote them. Don't put down the kids who made the list!  P.S.   I think LA's Gore should have been somewhere on the list. Great young man who contributed much to LA's 2nd place district finish.

Stats don't lie

Just what do you find dishonorable? If you're referring to the two first team all district picks from LA as being 'dishonorable' based on some stats you found somewhere, you apparently haven't watched any 8aa boys basketball this year. Either that or you're  just plain 'stupid'!

I said some of the players. I wasn't! referring to 1st team selections.I just pointed out the stats don't back up a defensive selection and a 3rd team selection. Frankly, LA had more production from the bench. In those selections listed. That is all stats. So, unwad your panties and be easy on the stupid. It's a valid point. Keep the stats public like the rest of 8aa and that keeps things honest if you truly reward for production.

Maybe, once upon a time coaches nominated team players but couldn't vote for them. No big deal, really. Its great motivation for players. I just found it interesting that LA doesn't put stats into Hearld Citizen like other 8aa schools . By the way! Most matched 8aa honors selections. I found hsgamecenter.com LA stats and some of the LA district honorees are extremely low as compared to other LA teammates and other 8aa schools. Stats don't lie. I just found it interesting and to be honest and very dishonorable. . So, please do your on homework and you decide. WLIV is a great source for LA game stats ,as well.

Congrats to all the young men with 8aa honors. According to the game statistics on www.hsgamcenter, LA rewarded players with low game statistics. No big deal really, statistics just keep productivity honest. Motivation I guess. Good luck 8aa teams.

Upperman LA game was tight all night.

Mcdonald signed .. Eldridge listed as a walk on.
