Yes, there are two awards now and just so you know how ridiculous and out of touch the AP Poll is...not a single Boyle Co player was on ANY of the AP All-State Teams....NONE (not even Honorable Mention). Contrast that with the Coaches Poll and there were FOUR (Smith, Kelly, Roller and Lanter).

I agree with about everything you said here my brother. It was a flat out shame that no kid from Boyle County was selected anywhere on the AP All State list. To me, that took away some credibility. And I said so when the lists came out a few months back.

One problem I have with the Coaches Poll is that my boy wasn't no where to be found on their list either. I think you know me well enough by now to know that I dont think that Ethan is the best and am not the type to give a kid credit if he doesn't deserve it. And I'll go ahead and say it, I don't think Ethan is close to being the best Offensive Lineman in the State but I don't think he's terrible either and not good enough to be somewhere on their list. Maybe he's not, but deep down inside I think he is.

The AP had him on their 2nd Team but on the Coaches Poll, he was no where to be found. But, like I said, I agree that it was a shame no player from the Rebels made the AP team. Makes you wonder just exactly what both polls are looking for. One would think, if they both knew what we think they should, both Polls should damn near mirror each other. But that's just my opinion.
