I’m puzzled to how the Louisville Courier-Journal excluded Owsley County’ s Lexy Lynch and Carly Smith off their 2021-22 All State team. Letcher Central’s Kaylee Banks was named to the 3rd Team, a well deserved selection. Knott Central’s Abby Maggard and Breathitt County’s Breanna Tincher were named Honorable Mention, also good players. But Lynch and Smith have been two of the better players in the region all year. 

Earlier this month the Lexington Herald-Leader named both Banks and Lynch to their 3rd team and Carly Smith an Honorable Mention. 
Lexy Lynch was the coaches’ 14th region Player of the Year in 2020-21 and was the 14th region choice by the players as Player of the Year this season. She scored over 2600 career points and helped her team to 3 straight district championships, a 14th region All A title and state quarterfinals in 2021, 3 straight region semifinals and 1 finals, and a 1 point loss to Letcher Central for the regional championship. 
This is strictly my opinion but Lynch and Smith’s efforts this season were worthy of being somewhere on the CJ’s list. 
My question is, does Jason Frakes, high school sports writer for the newspaper, even research these players?
