All Mountain Teams

Brooks4Prez · 12-30-2007, 01:42 AM

When they were giving out the top 5 offensive linemen, they named a Brakota Smith from LCC. If there was a Brakota Smith playing for Letcher Central this year I was not aware of it Smile

Brooks4Prez · 12-30-2007, 01:46 AM

Brakota Smith is a linemen from Pulaski County. Google is a wonderful thing Smile

Brooks4Prez · 12-30-2007, 01:50 AM

So what did everyone think of the All Mountain teams?

IDK how Dustin May was named 3a player of the year

Brooks4Prez · 12-30-2007, 02:12 AM

I know I'm going to sound like a homer here, but with the season they had, you would think Letcher Central would have had a few more players on the list.

**The Guru** · 12-30-2007, 02:20 AM

Although I thought a few of the players were "No-Brainers", but as a whole, I thought it was nearing "Comedic" Status!!

Serious? Maybe ya didn't keep up with his posts all season. That's the only way not to know who he favored for the award.... Smile

I think there were maybe 2-3 others that could have been considered in 3A, but none that truly compared to May this year. I don't think anyone could argue he is what made that awesome Belfry machine go this year. I think they will have next year's 3A mountain player of the year also, in my opinion, in Ivan Lee. Personally, I liked his game more than I did May's. But to say May wasn't the catalyst and MVP of that team and the Mountain area would just put me in the category of "CRAZY!"

a player of the year should be on the team that goes the farthest in the playoffs, sometimes it doesn't work that way but for the most part it does

So you agree with May as the choice?

You can find this on the wymt website.

ballcrazy · 12-30-2007, 09:33 PM

I think CHRIS PUCKETT of JENKINS should have been on the list somewere.

HAIL PIKEVILLE! · 12-30-2007, 11:19 PM

Congrats to Daniel Harmon from Pikeville for getting the best all around athlete award. Tim Honaker also made the "Super 30" defensive players list. Well deserved for both these kids.

Well lets see, considerin he was one of four players acoss the ENTIRE state who tied for total votes for All-State I don't see why he wouldn't be named the 3A player of the year for the mountains. :ChairHit:

**Redneck** · 12-31-2007, 01:42 AM

Paintsville's J.D. VanHoose shoulda been on the defensive list. The kid had dang near 160 tackles this year, 3-4 games of 20+.

bigE · 12-31-2007, 02:03 AM

people get too caught up in these rankings and awards, there is an award for everything now, and thats probably why all the players now a days are whining mommas boys, its rediculus....every player thinks they deserve something..

Heck...as far as that goes, he coulda been all around player of the year and should have!!!Not only had huge tackle recordings, but had 2 INTs that he returned for TDs, At QB he threw like 6 or 7 TDs, caught TDs at both tight end and wide reciever, ran TDs from QB, RB and fullback!
How freaking much does one have to excell at so many different position???

OMG · 01-01-2008, 04:55 AM

**Playboy5** · 01-01-2008, 08:46 AM

Congrats to those who made it, sure players got shafted, but it happens and will happen EVERY YEAR that there will ever be a All Whatever team. And May deserves it if anyone deserves to be 3A player of the year!

He has nowhere near 160 tackles this year. **** against JC, Pikeville, SC, P-Burg, and Raceland he was non existant. I guess he got his tackles against the Allen Central, South Floyd, and Betsy Layne teams.

FullCount · 01-01-2008, 06:29 PM

Just in case you guys are unaware, the coaches played a majo part in selecting the teams.

Don't bash the selections... look at the coaches if you disagree with the picks.

What do you have against J.D.

**Lisa Douglas** · 01-01-2008, 08:45 PM

Yes, Fullcount you're correct on how the determinations were made... so I guess that speaks volumes about who, how, and why these selections were made. TBH... forget it. It's not even worth wasting the energy to type a response.
