Someone please explain how the Bellhy boy from Fort Cherry does not make at least the third team?

Not sure, I thought Bellhy and Josh Valentic from Trinity would make the all-state team.

My guess for Bellhy is Fort Cherry's won-loss record. Generally, the players selected come from the top teams.
