Soooo....help me make sense of this. 8 kids from the West side make the 1st team but only 7 boys from the East side? Plus, no Honorable Mention QB's? Wishkah Valley=3 kids, Cusick=1?

[wampus]

And a Neah Bay snub?

Things that make you go HMM

This is why I so desperately started the All-State team for 8-Man after Mike Warchol passed away. AP does not cover 8-man well enough to put out a thorough team. Is what it is. Even though everyone doesn't always completely agree with all over the selections we put out, it is at least knowledge based and much more thorough.

You do a great job Crazy-8. Associated Press doesn't have a clue about 8-man football. Sports writers must think Neah Bay is in Hawaii, they got snubbed big time!!!!
Aberdeen Daily World & Bellingham Herald have too much influence. Anything East of the HILL doesn't exist to the Seattle sports writers.

[Coug Coach]

I agree. Alot of teams and players got the proverbial shaft.

[CoachK]

Lyle/Wishram got the shaft also.........

[wampus]

My hat's off to Lyle et al, you guys played as tough as anybody in the state. You had both Colton and TCP on the ropes...and with a short roster. You and I both know what you''ve accomplished and the Matai's should know they earned the respect of their peers. 'nuff said.
Merry Christmas, all

[Sharkbite]
