You sir, are correct.


There were two counties, four grades, four teams per grade and 20 kids per team or about 320 kids participating last night, so to think that there would be no politics involved is naive or to think that every pick would be perfect is silly but on the other hand to think that any parent watching and pulling for his own kid could possibly be impartial and qualified to determine who should and who should not make the team is also silly.

From your post I do not know what county or age you are referring to, but I think this is an unbelievable event that these HS coaches have created and given an unbelievable opportunity for so many kids to be exposed to so many college coaches and the kids that made the final 40 should all be congratulated. And all the coaches who spend so much time putting this event together should be thanked.
