I enjoy reading through the smaller classification boards becaause all you smaller town guys are usually more passionate as a whole about your sports, I have a serious question for you guys and hope you guys give me some truthful thoughts and opinions. How do you guys feel about this scenario.

A player is an underclassmen (not a senior), or any player for that matter,  and he does not get recognized/voted on by the Conference coaches or the AAA or whoever as receiving recognition for his performance during the year, however the school chooses to recognize him anyway publicly.

For example a kid doesn't get recognized as all conf, all region, all state whatever officially, but the school claims and recognizes him publicly as receiving such award.

what are yall's thoughts and comments on something like this, ill hang up and listen

So you're saying a school called a student all conference even though the conference didn't recognize that student as being all conference?

I think typically schools gets a say in who on their team is all Conference.  They definitely do on all Region or all State.  To recognize them locally when they haven't received that honor seems kind of strange.  Now, if you are saying that they are recognizing them as something different, Best Field Goal Shooting Percentage, Most Valuable Player, etc, that would be a completely different scenario that I think every school would do.

I'm curious, is this something you've seen in 1A, other classifications or just asking in general?

It's important everyone wins a trophy at end of the year athletic banquet...so heck yeah I support this!
My goodness, who wants to win an award they earn through playing well enough to be voted for by consensus at a coaches meeting when your coach can unilaterally select you based on if your parent is on the school board, or is principal, etc.
