It is one of those things that will always be controversial. Coaches vote on it and they can only vote on players they are familiar with. And you can't go by stats on it either because we know how some stats are reported.

Good response. I get what you are saying on stat reporting can't always be relied upon as being accurate. Maybe that is something that could be coordinated better through the KHSAA for ALL sports. Have someone responsible for reviewing reported stats for obvious errors. I understand they couldn't review every single game thoroughly. But they could at least catch the obvious incorrect reporting like a pitcher throwing 70 innings in one game on less than 100 pitches. Because at some point, stats should be looked at for players the voting committee are unfamiliar with in order to try to be fair about things instead of Lexington and Louisville schools trading votes with each other to get all their players on.

This is what hurts our eastern KY athletes. They get the same exposure and we have some real good players left off these lists year in and year out. Unless I overlooked someone, I only saw one 14th Region player in Huff from Knott. I feel there should have been multiple players. And I am sure there was some from other eastern ky regions that were left off as well.
