Here is a list of the top 25 receivers in the state. It ends at 73.6 YPG. Angel has 73.1 YPG.

Here is a list of the only team's in the state with a leading receiver that have within 47 attempts of Gurule's team.

Ashland - 129
Somerset - 129
Newport Central Catholic - 139
Highlands - 136
Warren Central - 151
Heath - 100
Paul Dunbar - 158
Crittenden County - 119

IMO, these are the only receivers you can compare Gurule with by numbers alone. It wouldn't be equal to judge him against receivers whom have QBs who have thrown nearly 200 passes or more unless their numbers were 150%-200% higher than Angel's.

Sponge Bob brought up a great point about politics. Lets compare.

Highland's Ben Guidugli was considering an automatic bid for all-state this season and will probably receive that honor this season. Let's compare numbers. Both teams have attempted roughly the same number of passes (Ashland 129, Highlands 136)

Player, School G Rec Yds P-Game TD
Ben Guidugli, Highlands..............10...35....863....86.3.....3
Angel Gurule, Ashland................10...37....731....73.1.....6

Both players have very equal, but contrasting stats. Ben averages more yards per reception. Gurule averages more receptions and TWICE as many TDs. I think most anyone would agree that they would sacrifice 13.2 YPG to double their TDs from 3 to 6. That's the equivalent of trading in 132 yards for 3 TDs. Sounds like a pretty good trade to me since it is 100 yards to score a touchdown.

It is sad to say that the most likely scenario is that Angel will not even get a chance at all state while Ben will be an automatic 1st team lock. That is why we are starting this campaign to get Angel's name out so he will be recognized for his accomplishemnts on the field.
