1) do you think a team that goes 27-0 and wins the state by a 17 pt average should have had more than 1 all region player?
2) I presume you just watched the tourney - who on Langdon’s team appeared to have a bad attitude and displayed poor sportsmanship?
They certainly could have had more than one there yes, coaches didn’t see it that way. No, I don’t think the coaches got together ahead of time and said we are going to do this to LAEM. They, as a team, won the ultimate reward...a state trophy. What more could a player ask for other than to be part of that great TEAM? I do watch a lot of Region 4 sports for both boys and girls as the region always puts together a powerhouse. The boys side isn’t going to be much different either. In ten or twenty years not many will remember who was all district or all region, but most will surely remember the exciting state tournament we just got to watch and who won that reward.
Just because they won the ultimate award, which they DID, doesn't mean that it is inconsequential who receives a post season award. Langdon's girls obviously put a lot of work into it, their is no reason they shouldn't be recognized for it. Of course, i'm sure those girls wouldn't trade what that accomplished as a team for individual accolades.
Now can you answer my second question?[/quote]
I watch a lot of region 4 not just the state tourney. I’m not sure what the coaches felt that made their decision, I just threw out a suggestion. The coaches that make these decisions make them based off more than a few of us that watch a few games and become the experts on who shoulda been picked. My guess is all the coaches involved in the decision had an opportunity to plead there case on how to vote right?
