I can see your point there goBIGBLUE62. However, we limited it to 5 submissions per team because there were 2 teams of 50 to fill. Those 5 weren't considered among 100 kids, they were on a team of 50.
We did that in fairness to everyone. Believe me, we had coaches who griped about it. There were coaches who wanted to submit their 5 on top of any kids from their team who were already selected as All-State from the playoffs/championships. You start doing the math and before long we would have had 20-30% of the 50 man rosters from the same team. While no one disputes that Bowling Green and several of the other teams who were in the finals had great players all around, the idea was to have the BEST from their team submitted. I believe their, and the rest of the teams involved, top 5 were there.
Nonetheless, if you were there you know what I am talking about. The talent and size of those players were amazing. I was asked more than a dozen times "these are middle school kids"?
It was definitely a cool event and definitely something that the KMSFA will look foward to doing annually.
