Anybody else think the 4A awards are out of hand? If you play in 4A, it sure seems like your chances of “earning” an award are extremely high. Maybe even multiple awards since you can get awarded at multiple positions. This is out of wack compared to the other classifications.
In all classifications, it would also be great to see a player’s official season stats in parentheses (relevant to the position they got an award for). Most of these kids are worthy of the recognition but for some, the all-state award seems questionable.
