If you don't realize it then there is no use in explaining it to you.

The difference is they are teammates and regardless of what your personal opinion is you should not be putting down one HJ player to boast another regardless of how right or wrong you think the voting is.  It is not right to say that about any kid much less kids that are teammates and friends.  Hopefully the kids are more mature about it and are happy for each other!!!!

I think Devante was slightly better throughout the season. At times Zjori was better, but I think he still should have made all region also. But you basically trashed a young kid.

Congrats to those who were recognized. Not everyone can make the team or it wouldn't be an honor.  :-\

Notice I never disagreed about ZB not making the team.  I think he should have, but we all should be happy for SP and DJ!!!!!!

Exactly!  And he even still has 2 years to get even better and prove he should be on the next one!

So my nephew should be happy in spite of the fact that he was  unjustly ignored. I am not understanding how they chose the teams. What are they basing it on.

[cbosha]

Yeah try explaining that to a kid who has hurt feelings now. All the hard work just to be looked over. That's a hard pill to swallow.

[Lazeek]

Well......honestly I don't think it is ZB that has hurt feelings.  He knows how good he is, and he has proven it on the court.  Ultimately it is a TEAM game.  He has earned many accolades and will earn more over the next two years.  He is working to be as good as he can to earn an opportunity to play college basketball (which he will). 

[cbosha]

How would you know if my nephew's feelings are hurt or not? You don't live with him or talk with him frequently.

[cbosha]

Yeah it is a team game. I think my nephew understands that concept as opposed to some other players.

Look at Home first cbosha.  Players are nominated for All Region by their Head Coach.  Look at your coach first.  The Head Coach picks the players to be named to All Region, All State. and then the Region votes on the players that the coach nominates.

Exactly, so Cbosha, u need to go talk to Coach Sutherland !!! By him not being selected, that should make him work a little harder this summer to prove to all the coaches who nominate these players that he's one of best in this area.... He's just a sophomore, they look at juniors and seniors first but if u have a freshman are sophmore averging 20+, that's a different subject and that's something he didn't do... My opinion, he's a good player !!!

How in the world did Devante make all region before my nephew who is a much better player. This is ridiculous. A grave injustice has been committed.

well since he didnt make the team,instead of feeling ignored or sad about it when the season start next year,that should make him hungrier to come out and prove he should of made it. Thats called being a competitor. I'm not saying either one is better but they pick these team merely of stats and DJ  stats were better.

This vitriolic crap from overly enthusiastic Uncles and
other relatives is so much more harmful that good - it seems like the poster would understand that.  The deed has been done, Uncle cbosha; no amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth will change it now.

[Dick Vitale]

cbosha, you cannot be serious....that kid is a 10th grader right? If he is THAT hurt, talk to him about what playing in a PROGRAM is all about...TEAM...ask him would he rather have made all region and missed the regional tourney, or leave things as they are and work his tail off to get better for next season....Come on, man..What are we teaching our young people? ::) ::) SMH
