I don't think you understand what I mean. To have 4 kids on the team means that all 4 received votes, and probably a significant number. Rather than take a body of work from the season, many coaches vote on how particular kids played against them. So if a kid averaged 7ppg, but scored 18 pts against Team A, the coach of Team A probably votes for that player rather than a kid that averaged 12 ppg but only scored 4 against him. So I don't think your argument (I guess all the honorable mention players could say thay missed being chosen due to "split votes") holds water. And I'm not saying any kid deserved to be on there that is not there. But I do think its rare that a team has 5 players mentioned on this kind of team. That's all.

I understand what you mean, I just don't really agree with it. I think most coaches in the region are familiar with the entire body of work of the region's top players through scouting, newspaper articles, statistic leaders via the Daily Independenent, talking to other coaches, etc... Also according to your scenario, the reason a kid may have scored more than their season average against Coach A's team is that they didn't defensively key on her as much due to their scouting. For these reasons I don't believe that Coach A would be overly influenced by a player's one game statistics. Nothing against Rowan's players - they have some talented athletes and should be a factor in next years regional race again.

I personally think this all-area listing is pretty accurate. I don't think I could make a good arguement to replace any ofthe players that made the team.
