Impressions: As a sports reporter with the Casper Star-Tribune from 2005 to 2009, I had the good fortune of seeing many of these players in person. That helped. … At the same time, it’s also fun for me as the main dude behind picking the Super 25 teams for four seasons (2005-08) look retrospectively at those choices. Without calling anyone out — I still think all 100 players chosen during my four years were deserving — there were definitely some players who went on to have amazing college careers whose success was clearly not determined by whether they were Super 25. Overlooked, or late bloomers (or both)? A few even made this list. … The offensive line is the biggest of any of the eight all-decade teams, checking in at an average of 259 pounds per player. The defensive line ranks fourth, though, at an average of 219 pounds per player. … Two of the best teams of the 2000s were represented by three players each — Campbell County’s 2000 team and Natrona’s 2003 team. Both were undefeated state champions at the big-school level.
Up next: The 2010s, Monday.
