I am sure others will make it, but after watching games, I think these are pretty much on an all-state team whether 1st or 2nd team.
All-State (Div. I)
Belfour – Lafayette (F) Hunt – St. Paul (F) Thomas – Jesuit (F) McNamara - Lafayette (M) Wilson – Central Lafourche (M) Montiehl - Rummel(M) Judice – Covington (M) LeBlanc – Acadiana (M) Credeur – Acadiana (D) Ahrens – Sulphur (D) Winchell – Catholic BR (GK) Duaine Belfour - Lafayette (Coach)
Others who might make it: Hardy(Lafayette), Hofland(Acadiana), McDonald(Mandeville), Neilson(Jesuit), Wimer(Cpt. Shreve)......players off of Rummel's defense(I don't know their names) If I left some please add......I know I can put alot of people up here and try to give them credit, but I am trying to guess who will make it, not necessarily who deserves it, because more deserve it than can make it obviously.

The only ommission I see is Menard for Lafayette. I would put him in the others that might make it category. He pretty much shut down his half of the field this year on D.

I'll list a few more that will probably make 2nd team or HM. I think your 1st team is right on.
Forwards: K. Carter (Laf), J. Kasischke (StP), Smith (BM), C. Broussard (Sul), A. Benoit (CL), Guerrero (CathBR)
Midfield: W. Todd (Laf), K. Sun (NS), BJ Reine (CathBR), Viro (StP), J. Greer (Slid), Foret (CL), Hilario (Caddo)
Defense: T. Bonnin (StA), S. Moore (Rum), B. Pierce (Laf), F. Judice (Cov), L. Frye (CL), Proctor (Mandy), Williams (Sul), Wolf (Jesuit)
Keepers: C. Thompson (Laf), M. Keller (BR), Malbrough (Rum)

oh, I didn't even notice this, but no one has even mentioned GK Dane Gerace(sp) from Jesuit. He is definitely one of the best keepers in the state.

You might would consider Donnie Harris for defense

Dont forget about Jeremy Wiemer also. These are just suggestions

All players mentioned could make the all-state team except for Weimer which was not nominated. Now get this, Caddo had 9 players nominated for all-state. That is ridiculous. And, they are the only nominees from Division I and 2. I would seem that the coach could have nominated less of his players and add some from the other teams that are not members of the LHSSCA. Here is what I see, if you have nine players that you think belong on the all-state team you should have won the state with at least a 5 goal cushion on each game instead you barely beat a bad Grace King squad and layed an egg against CL. The same can be said for CL even thou they are a much better team but 7 nominees. Are you real? No one else was nominated from their district. Next time before you nominate all your players, look around and nominate some worthy players from your district. And only nominate those that you really think could be the best 15 or 16 players in the state. From what I can see, it should have been Central Lafourche against Caddo in the finals. Even Lafayette with eight nominations is too much and they did win the title. What do you think, you have half the state's best players on your team? Give me a break. You weren't that much better than Acadiana and they only nominated 3. And no one from Carencro. Go figure.

well i have watced many district 6 teams... They have what 9 teams:3
Central Lafourche H L Bourgeois Destrehan Hahnville Terrebonne High School A.J. Ellender East St. John Thibodaux High School South Lafourche
Now CL played there subs at somepoint in everygame except destrahan... Destrahan gave them a run for their money due to the fact that they had 2 refs and the refs could not keep up with the play... even int hat game the looked like the would pull away...
Now i am not saing that it is right for CL to nominate 7 of their players i am saying that their is not man experienced players on the teams besides HL... CL... Destrahan and mabe hahnville... The take football players so the can have a soccer team.... I was not impressed when watching any of them teams and not man stuck out....
I do not know who CL nominated but i can take a guess.... Will Wilson, Lance Fry, Aaron Autin, Lonnie Crochet, Lance Guidroz, Adam Beniot, and ??...
These may not get it but are the best players in this district and maybe a few HL's players could be included... 1 from Destrahan as well

If what futbol4ever said is true it makes the process of selecting an all-state team a farce. Why not take each all-district team and pick from those.

I think that as they are currently set up, All-State, All-District and playoff pairings are all set up poorly. I mean look at last year's all-state team. You had cases where a player who was only honerable mention in district made first team all-state. Another case where second team all-district made second team all-state. The whole system lacks direction.

LHSAA at its finest.
Until soccer becomes a quote unquote big time sport, these minor little details will continue to get no attention. And i'm sure that the present set-up helps a few people.

McScruff.....all-district is only district games.....I know who you are talking about and he got honorable mention in district because he only played in like 4 district games.......he played in most tournaments up until that time...and he played in the quarters through the finals.....that's why he was all-state, becasue coaches voted for him. The other player, I think I know who you mean with 2nd team district and state deserved first team on both.....there is one player who was 1st team district and 2nd team state last year, that shouldn't have been either in my opinion.

First Smeagle: You are telling me that your seventh nominee is better than everyone in all the other district teams.
Second DREDG03: The LHSAA has nothing to do with this.
Third ShreveDad: It is not a farce. The problem is understanding what you are doing in nominating players and secondly to be a member so you can nominate those one, or two players that really deserve to be considered.
And last McScruff: I have the list.
The reason I am bringing this up is not ridicule anyone but to make the system better. No one has 6, 7, or 8 all-state players playing for them. Simple. If you win state I could see you having 3 or 4 but that is it. Nominating 6, 7, or 8 is greed and a total misunderstanding of what all-state is all about.
The other problem is that coaches don't know who is who in other districts. This site helps alot in learning who are the top players from around the state. The other is watching games from other districts or going to good tournaments where you can see this players.
I went to a few tournaments this year and when I saw an outstanding player, I made a not of it to consider him for all-state. Also, if you are disrespectful get red cards, etc., you are off my list no matter how good you are. I don't want to vote for someone that is not a credit to the game. I am looking for the best players but more so the whole player.

Sorry, futbol4ever, got to disagree with you about my point. If you have a system set up that that prevents a player from even being nominated to be considered for a spot on the team, the system is flawed. I have no problem with only the member coaches voting for the team, but all coaches should be able to nominate players.

hdkjga, you should know who I am talking about being second team and second team. He was at the finals with me and we discussed that some. I agree that he should have gotten first team on both accounts.
As for the other player, I didn't mean to disparage him. I think he is a fantastic player. I didn't remember him playing too much in December and November though, but that was a loooong time ago. He did score a couple of crucial goals in the playoffs last year, so I can see your point.

Everybody knows Will Wilson is a shoo-in for all State again this year but CL should have at least one or two more all-state nominations. They had a great year.
CL has several 4 year letterman who should be in the running for All-State.
Lance Fry named first team all-dist. for two years in a row and was named all-district Def. MVP. Very strong and physical player, soccer smart, reads the field well, long hard and accurate passes to the forwards and middlefielders. Hard to beat him.
Shawn Foret,middle field, first team all-district for two years in a row. Good movement on field. plays the field well. smart player. good accurate passes. Wish he had a little more speed.
Aaron Autin,keeper, first team all-district for two years. Good reflexs. good judgement on the field. Punts were excellent. One of the team leaders.
Most of the goals scored this year on CL was after the coach pulled the starting defense and keeper off the field.

First Smeagle: You are telling me that your seventh nominee is better than everyone in all the other district teams. I am not saying that they may be better, but they are good candidates... South Lafourche and Thibidoeux are yfrom Lafourche parish and dont have any soccer players... many of them live in the lockport/raceland area where soccer is actually played... Now lets go to terrebonne pairsh... many of these teams are football players as well... 80% of them don't even know the rules for soccer!! Now i am not saying that these 7 are the best in the state... but they are the best in the district i believe... H.L. Bougious had really two of them could have been nominated... If i remember right one played midfield. Then again they have Will Wilson and Shawn Foret who are better and who have played together for 6-7 or maybe 8 years... Destrahan was another contender who have soccer players... I do believe that maybe two of them could have been nominated.... Hahnville... well i have no clue what happened to them... Some of their players walked off the field while playing... Now i dont consider that to be an all state player, much less a team player.... I really dont see one of them making an all state team or getting nominated... Now i know all of them didn't walk off the field maybe 2 or 3. Dont forget that this my opinion Most of Houma's soccer players go to Vandebuilt, that is the premier soccer team, blackhawks, from there. Many of their family's can afford for them to go there... I do agree with you it isn't right for a team to nominate that many players... It is basically insane and i say 5 most... But in this district it is kinda hard not 2 although i disagree with it! I watched many district 6 games this year and i was hardly impressed, i was impressed by a few. This district was a very weak district. CL won every game by 4, except destrahan where they only had 2 refs, but that is part of the game and you have to fight your way threw it and they did.... I am just saying that this is a weak district with very few talented soccer players in it... I do say nominate others and share the wealth though....

ShreveDad: You didn't understand. The system allows for anyone to be nominated but you have to be a member. That is why I questioned Caddo nominating 9 players from their team but not nominating someone like Weimer. When I nominate, I nominate the best players from our district not just my team cause no matter how good we may be, we don't have 9 all-state players. KajunKicker: That is exactly my point. You said that CL has 2 to 3 real good players. Fine. But is not 7. He could have included 2 or 3 from the other teams in the district that are not members of the LHSSCA. Don't these coaches talk to each other. Smeagle: Again, there is no doubt that CL was much better than the competition in your district. A weak district. But CL had more nominations than all of District 4 combined. The bulk of the nominations came from district 3, 5, and 9 as it should be because there is no doubt that they were much better than the rest. Especially districts 3 and 9. By the way, I thought that Lafayette was the best team this year and they proved it. My hat is off to Ben Franklin for knocking Vandy off the top of the mountain. And St. Louis, they are awesome for a Div. III team that can play with any Div. I team. Congratulations to all winners and all finalists.

futbol4ever: I stand corrected. You are obviously concerned with doing the right thing. Thank you. Wish some of the other coaches would do the same.
