They also will try to get somebody on to the appropriate team, even if they maybe had better stats on a different side of the ball. Would you rather be a first team all-state linebacker, or a 2nd team all-state RB? I'm guessing most would rather be first team. There is alot of politics involved in these teams and they are not a science. In the case of Dewald, he was easily one of the top three RB's in the state, regardless of stats. He probably didn't make all-conference because he hardly played in the conference games.

I heard he was 2nd in the state in total yards to first team quarterback Dustin Brend. I don't understand how he can be left off, he led his team to a 7-2 record. Its not like he played on a bad team or anything.

I think another reason that Brend was above Nichols would be that CV beat DP without having their best defensive player and second best receiver in Jason Novacek.

How many QB's in the history of 9-man football have thrown for over 2,000 yards?
Nicholes got the shaft!
Come on the kid is 6-5 195 lbs and ran for another 500 give me a break you don't get stats like that without being great!
I saw Dakota Prairie play in McVille this year their right gaurd was like 135 lbs.
They finished 7-2 the only losses were at Lakota and Central Valley. Give me a break! That that kid did not deserve all state just because he is a junior? get real

I think the right guys were put on the all state team. Maybe this kid didn't talked about around the coaches i dunno. I just don't see anyone he would take the place of.

I also agree. And I think your statement has some good common sense to it, if your team is winning you must have better players.
