I do believe WYMT relied heavily on Statistics to compile this team. And, I for one, do not blame them. It is hard to cover that many players will such a small group and then it is hard to compare via different classifications, schedules, offenses, etc... The use of statistics helps the crew be more objective and make decisions that are more fair than simply being subjective to a small number of athletes the WYMT guys get to see on a given Friday night. Take Shelby Valley running back, Lucas Fields, he was 3rd team over a lot of backs that I would personally take ahead of him, but he did have a fantastic statistical season.

It is great for some players to be selected and live with this honor they can tell their children about. For those not selected, it should not be taken as an insult. WYMT has a tough job to do when making a team like this, and no matter the players they were to select, someone was going to end up complaining.
