Hmmmmm, no Wilkins from Trinity??! He was Mr. Everything last year (How in the world that happened I'll never know!), this year he did absolutely nothing? And why is that? Not even the coaches from the Big 7 voted him as a All Section player. What happened??
I am glad to see my buddy Ryan Rosenfeld from Ringgold on there. He lives down the hill from me and battled a lot of injuries and did not play for two years. He made the all Big 7 team for honorable mention too. I'm very proud.
The absence of Kenny Wilkins and Dan Miller, the two best players at Trinity last year, is indicative of the gross misuse of talent which led to a disastrous year for the Hillers. Opportunity lost.
Best 2 players?!! Really? You do know they were the starters the first several weeks dont you??! This was the first year since Miller was a freshman that he wasn't injured. He WAS the starting TB and LB for the first several weeks and never produced. Then got injured again!! Dido with Wilkins. Was the starter on both sides for the first several weeks and didn't produce. Was actually benched. How is that misuse of talent? At what point did these 2 "best athletes" produce anything for Trinity? And which one is your son?!!! Just because you can lift weights doesn't make you a good football player! Stats, yards, tackles, doing your job, being a menace on the field.....That makes you good. And the best player is LaShawn Bryant. Ask anyone in the WPIAL. That kid made a name for himself this year by working hard, playing hard, and doing his job. He was never selfish and it payed off! He is on every list for "All Stars". Remember....Coaches play those who produce.
Stats?? Production??
One gets D-1 scholarship and the other averages over 7 yds per carry over a high school career----what do you want??
Never meant to downgrade the accomplishments of Bryant who was excellent. He certainly was tops this year.
just wondering...For the players listed by school,who selected them?
For example, the Ringgold players listed include more than the four players who made 2nd team Big 7 voted on by coaches (Fiore-Rands-Rosenfeld-Patch)
Good job CM boys who made the all conference team. Tough year but tihs happens. Good luck to all seniors who will move on to DI DII and DIII football.
Good luck to next years class also.
Are you sure this is an All District Team and not a let's put everyone on it team????? Doesn't look like much of an honor to be picked for this.
All district team? It looks like a let's just pick everyone team to me? What kind of an honor is it to be chosen for this when there are so many?
Players who made the all-district team were selected to their respected all-conference teams, be it first team, second team or honorable mention.
Thanks Mike....Im guessing the other Ringgold players (DePalma-Fransko-Goggins) were honorable mention because I didnt see that in the papers...
How does that work? Does each coach nominate "x" number of players so the other coaches have a starting point? I would think that may happen because I would think it would be difficult for say the coach at BVA remember who played well against from Ringgold when he only sees each team once....
