Has these teams been identified yet? If so I can't seem to find it. Can someone please post a link.

TNFCA put out 5A and 6A so far from what I have seen. No sports writers association yet to my knowledge.

It hasn’t been released yet. Was supposed to around new year but not yet for some reason

D2(private) has been put out and is on 5Starpreps. So the rest should be coming soon.

What made it comical was there an obvious snub or something?

Comical is putting it lightly, this is the worst year for state awards I’ve ever seen, no way in he** these writers got out of their own areas to watch other games or even attempted to do some research. I remember when being all-state used to mean something because the writers did do their research and seemed to care about it and the kids. Gordonsville, Clay County, have 1 players combined, that’s pretty shady to me. those 2 teams were the last standing in the East with SP. Then you take the Auburn commitment from SP who made it and according to their fans wasn’t even one of their top players and all he wanted to do was fight, even got suspended for a game! Then two soph from SP don’t get me wrong they are very talented players but weren’t the best on the field from the games I watched of SP,  I saw lots of Juniors and Seniors who were better just on worse teams. Award the kids for their hard work and not the ones who benefits from what school they might be playing at the next level or what Letters are on their chest. I understand it’s always going to be biased, but at least get the right players from the right teams on there.

Yes there were several. The thing about it the tswa used to b good at this stuff but the last several years has been a joke. They have their darlings and are very political. Embarrassing

Definitely understand that a lot of times name has more value than it should. But without a horse in the race it would be neat to see this thread try and build a better all state team.

I get it. You can’t please everyone and certain names are going to b left off but it is glaring the amount that has been listed that can’t come close to comparing to one’s left off. I admit I write sports for our hometown paper but not a member of the association as we are a very small town. Just like to see a non partial list
