SuperflySnuka Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 The Best Player in District 21-3A, Pierce Rhodes, doesn't make honorable mention? And the second best RB in the league makes honorable mention? DPG deserves it, but so does Rhodes who was the District 21-3A MVP! What a joke! The best RB by far that Kirbyville played all year did make honorable mention also... Cantu from Caldwell. How is the AP All-State team selected? What local reporter has votes from this area?

southern-thunder Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 What a joke!! This all state team is a Joke!!! Not meaning to take away from those who made it I am sure they deserved it but there are some with better stats that deserve to be there also.

mustang mom Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 From what I understand it is up to the local sportswriters to nominate the teams that they cover. The Orange Leader sportswriters nominated players that they cover but apparently the Enterprise didn't nominate anyone. The sportswriter that told me this also felt like Pierce Rhodes got the raw end of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orangeleader are only limited to nominate players from Orange County or can they nominate from the entire District that their Orange County teams compete in? Boremont Emptyprise is a joke if they didn't nominate anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFDM COOP Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I believe the Orange Leader only Votes For Orange County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperflySnuka Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I believe the Orange Leader only Votes For Orange County.So this means the AP has rules restricting the Orange Leader from nominating and/or voting for any player outside of Orange County???

stang4life Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 First of all...A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Tim, Poodie, and Ronnie for making it.You would think that at least K-ville would have someone (namely Pierce Rhodes) who made it because they went to the quarterfinals too. While Pierce Rhodes is an awesome athlete, I don't think that he's necessarily a better RB than Poodie. Yes, he did make MVP of 21-3A, but I would think that that is because he played both ways and excelled both ways whereaas Poodie primarily played offense and some defense.

Lefty99 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Congrats to the players from WOS. Well deserved! As for Rhodes, I would venture to say that Alverez nominated him. Why not? This state team has worthy players, but you would think that someone would have contacted the coach to get Rhodes the attention he so deserves! Just goes to show you how much politics plays in HS football! Absolutely horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang mom Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 My understanding is that they are nominated by the local sportswriters, hence the "Sportwriter's All State Team." So it is up to the newspapers that cover those teams to nominate. The Orange Leader covers Orange County teams so that is why our sportswriters didn't nominate Rhodes. He should have been nominated by someone that covers Kirbyville, whoever that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes was a great athlete on both sides of the ball, but it's obviously not a joke that DPG was also pretty darn good himself since someone nominated him and then a few more somebodies obviously voted for him. Rhodes did deserve to be on that list. Who does cover kville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOS92 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 My understanding is that players must be nominated first by the coach, then voted for by an AP poll-participating sportswriter. Being a former Enterprise employee, it's quite possible that they don't have anyone with a vote. They used to have Kenton Brooks, but he moved on. The only one I can imagine might have one is Rush Wood, but I'm not so sure. I'm thinking the only local AP voter is at the PA News. I could be totally wrong, but that's my recollection.

SuperflySnuka Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Congrats to the players from WOS. Well deserved! As for Rhodes, I would venture to say that Alverez nominated him. Why not? This state team has worthy players, but you would think that someone would have contacted the coach to get Rhodes the attention he so deserves! Just goes to show you how much politics plays in HS football! Absolutely horrible!Rhodes was nominated and was on the ballot according to a Beaumont Enterprise reporter. So writers locally didn't vote for Rhodes. What a joke and a disservice to a high school athlete who deserved much better. He led the district in rushing for two straight seasons. Finished with 1,900 yards rushing this year while also playing defense 90 percent of the time. Certainly there is a way to see all the votes from the AP writers. I would like to see how the "local" writers voted. Rhodes should have been an honorable mention at worst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best offensive player in the district which is what earned him District MVP honors. If some local "homer" writers didn't vote for him that would be a shame. Let's see how Beaumont, Orange and Port Arthur writers voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
