HTV Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Our today: 2021 TSWA All-State Football Teams: Class 4A, 5A, 6A - Five Star Preps (5starpreps.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just a question, but why have All-State teams selected by division? The athletes are either good enough to be on one combined All-State team or they are not. Congratulations to some really good athletes but to have multiple All-State teams is just another way to “WATER DOWN” football in Tennessee and try to make everyone feel good.

Well, we do live in an "everybody gets a trophy" society. I believe there are still one or two all state teams that select irregardless of classification.

Do you really think other states do it anyway different? If giving out All-State teams per division is "Watering it Down" then i guess GA,FL, Al,TX, etc have "water down" teams then too. Heck Florida even has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd teams per Classification. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Even powerhouse football states). Here is a question for you, do you believe that there should be 1 All-American team in College Football?

Heck lets get rid of everything thats not the NFL since those would be the best teams and then you can have your One True Champion each year with the Super Bowl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
