Seems like a DYNASTY is in the making. Before I go any farther..... I am only a observer of Dist 3.... I have no axe to grind over the selections. With 10 selections on the first team and second team and only one Sr. of the 10 it appears that Acadiana is the team to beat in Dist. 3 for the next couple of years. To accumulate 10 players on the All District team yet only finish 3rd place in district play has to be one for the record books. I congratulate the selections.

The posting and newspaper were in error when they listed Jessie Hargrave as Acadiana. She plays for Lafayette. Congratulations to all the selections. Especially the three selections from LHS who apparently carried the entire team to the state finals. What a heavy burden. Many thanks to the selection committee and especially the LHS representative for the support and recognition given to the district champions 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05.

I believe in 2003-2004 we were co-champions with AHS

Congrats to all who made it. I am sure in someone's eyes each of you are deserving . Condolences to the two starters from fourth place Acadiana (don't come with that tied with Barbe for 3rd, Barbe got AHS twice) who failed to make either team like their NINE team mates. Up until last year, the fourth place team stayed home at playoff time. Thanks to all who made this possible, especially each of you who helped orchestrate this. You should be very proud! Thank God championships are won by running a clean program and proving it on the field.

Leobacker,
Also, I think we won in 2002-2003 because AHS had to forfiet some games. This is the first year we are true champions and finalists.

Does Anyone have a complete Honorable Mention List?

I say again WoW LHS has as many players on the all state teams as it placed on the all district teams. How you figure that? Do you think deals were made? I shutter at the thought. Based on the teams named the Honorable mention list is the remainder of the AHS roster

Chew on this: AHS had more players in the district standings on both first and second team then the 2nd place team in the state did?? Didnt AHS get out 1st round in playoffs? I KNOW for a fact that AHS has great players, i played, but look at the books. also LHS keeper should have made the district standings AND THE REST OF THE BACK FOUR having only been scored on 2 in district play and one in playoffs! HELLO!! Congrats to all that made it, but sometihng should be fixed in this game of politics! oh correct me if my stats are incorrect.

Now that we have seen the All Acadiana High District Teams, can we please see the Division I District 3 All District Teams? Where can we find that list?

How did this team get selected? Here is one theory, just a theory. Not saying this DID happen, just a theory.
Any semblance to real life is pure coincidence, and any offense to any players is not intended...
Let us say Strugglin' High's coach wants little Suzy Notouch to make the team because of personal reasons (ie: related, big $ backer, friend's kid, pain in the backside parent, whatever). But the coach cannot vote for his own player, and the player is the best he has, but could not make varsity at Allstar High. So he/she seeks out a fellow coach in the same position.
Maybe the coach of Allstar High, wants his leading scorer, Cherry Picker, for similar reason as the coach from Strugglin'. The player might be a solid player, but fails time and again to deliver in the big matches, and is second team material, but he wants her on first team to make others happy. The coach knows her abilitites are closer to Sliced Hamm than Mia Hamm, but the coach sees an out.
In the blink of an eye, the deal is done. The coach of Suzy Notouch agrees to vote for Cherry Picker and vise versa. Then the other coaches see that the coach of Cherry Picker is willing to swap his nominations for his players, The coach from Allstar High becomes the broker in the selection process, swapping his votes with coaches of less deserving players. In the mean time, players from Perineal Power High, with one of the best defenses in the state, are ignored. Their coach has stayed out of the vote swapping, having faith in mankind to do the right thing.
That is just one theory, and really, nothing like that happens in real life, right?

Congrats to the Lafayette High Girls Team!! To win your district and then make it to the State Final and lose on PKs with only 3 players worthy of All District Recognition may be the best single case of overachievement I have ever seen.
Something seems seriously wrong with the selections on that team. I saw the Lafayette girls play. They had a wonderful team made up of some very good soccer players. Putting 3 on All State is a just reward. Putting 3 on their All District Teams isn't fair to the Lafayette girls. The Players (and this should always be about the players) deserve better from the adults!!

What's the Mascot for Perineal Power High? The Taints? ;D
Enigma, I must say, I enjoy your creative stories, especially the names.

Thanks Mung! The Taints would be a good name, as in taint selected...
And thanks ShreveDad. I can see your point, LHS was already playing well by winning district, one would expect that would carry into the playoffs, hence, that is what you saw.
Those in the process AND their supporters don't see what a laughing stock they have made of Division I, District 3. But we are in Louisiana...

Shrevdad........... It doesnt matter if lhs made it to the finals or not. The teams are selected depending on district play, it has nothing to do with wether you make it to the finals or not ! Just thought I would let you know that

Thanks, Shreve Dad! It would have sounded like sour grapes if someone from Lafayette High had said it.

Observer,
Nothing to say? You always seem to have to facts or answers for everything, suddenly no response to anything? How can one school have that many players voted onto one team? Seems like to odds are extremely high that this could happen

I too must thank Shrevedad for his kind words regarding the LHS Lady Lions. Now will the crowd see that the emperor has no cloths?

I have not commented because I did not think it would serve any purpose. I do not believe the team voted on represents the district properly. My (1st team )list has 2 fewer Acadiana players and 2 additional Comeaux players. Before any further statements are made regarding LHS, someone needs to verify who was actually nominated by the coach. I was told that both LHS and Comeaux had limited nominations and that fact opened the door for several Acadiana players. I will say that the most stunning ommission from the list was Mallory Barnes from Comeaux, a definite first team striker. As for next year, LHS loses no starters and they are the team to beat in district and probably in the entire state. I do think the teams would be different if the voting had taken place after the playoffs instead of before.

Do you mean the Comeaux and LHS coaches did not nominate their own players? If someone would explain the process maybe it would explain the result.
