I would rather see an all state team voted on by coaches over one voted by the media. The Courier Journal all state team is chosen by coaches. According to Jason Frakes, the sports writer at the CJ, every head coach in Kentucky was given the opportunity to vote. I have no clue which coaches voted and which ones did not, but at least they were given that opportunity.

I agree there were kids that were overlooked, (Knox Central Steve Partin), but just wait for the AP all state team to come out. Someone in Eastern Kentucky has 2 AP votes and for a LONG time voted for his kid and his kid ended up first team offense and first team defense. And a lot of the AP team consisted of his teammates. Plus a few years ago the sports writer for the Times Tribune and Sentential Echo used those 2 votes from those papers to vote for the son of his best friend so that player, who was probably Corbin's 6th best lineman that year and lost his starting position late in the year, ended up on the AP all state team.

Congrats to all those who were selected to the CJ all state team!
