All-Northeast class 4A-5A all stars

[Sugarcane]

I saw it in the Sunday sports section of the Morristown Citizens Tribune.

The Kingsport Times-News listed the first team on the front of the Sunday Sports Section. The second team and honorable mention were listed on page 2C.

does anyone know who votes for this team? coaches? journalists?

what is the criteria?

 

I am not familiar with d cranford of johnson county but since he was voted defensive player of the year I have no doubt he's an excellent player

 

but behind him you have b fanney who was a finalist for 4a defensive mr football and was so very instrumental in getting his team to murfreesboro

bloodscanner,

My understanding is that this is strictly a sportswriters poll, from I think eight (8) different newspapers...Kingsport, Greeneville, Morristown, Rogersville, Sevierville, Jefferson City, Mountain City, and maybe Johnson City? I think the top vote getter received 18 votes, so evidently there is more than one vote per paper...I just don't know the true complete facts...but the Fanney vote is certainly questionable at best...Cedric Hodge of D-B didn't even get one vote and was one of the leading tacklers for the Indians, 2nd team All-Big East...

I am sure there are a lot of fine players who didn't get their just do...and congratulations to those who did get selected, even with flaws, it is an honor to be recognized.

Here is the link to the article from the Kingsport Times-News

 

5A- 4A All NET team

[skunk]

There was a chart in the Times-News showing the first team and another chart that had the second team and honorable mention, both illustrating the number of votes received by each player.

I was wrong on the papers I previously listed, The Elizabethton Star, not the J.C. Press, was the eighth paper involved.

What is the problem? I saw most of these kids play, and do not have aproblem with any of the selections based on the stats and what I saw. I think the writers did a fairly good job.

Fanny should definately be Defensive Player of the year, his stats are far better than the winner's and did much more FOR his team, given that he was such a big part in getting his team to the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP game, not to mention the much tougher competion

Where is this chart you talk about. What about some more guys from Greeneville. Andy McCall and Randy King killed the defensive lineman from Morristown East and that lineman from Betsy is a joke. A sophomore beat him play after play, anybody looks good when they double team somebody. Ask Morristown West's D-Line about that right side of Greeneville's line. Oh Well it happens.
