Div I, II and III All State Teams

[sosoplayer24]

First of all I would like to congratulate all the players and coaches for achieving the ultimate high school individual award. As you can see by the numbers only a very small percentage of players ever receive this award. Everyone one of you should be very proud.

I would also like to ask about the process and know how these players are selected. I am a new coach in Div. I and never received a nomination form or a ballot. This is not sour grapes this is just getting in line for the future. I hope to have players in the future considered for this team and I need to know the process. It appears from the list of players that there are only a handfull of coaches that know what to do in each division.

Help me out!

Contact Sean Esker ( Mandeville Coach ), I believe he is the current president of the coaches association that votes for these awards.

Contact him - and also you have to be a member of the coaches association - $20 a year. I heard that many of the coaches in our part of the state - north - were not members - and therefore could not vote on the team. This is disturbing - we need representation for our girls.

This past season I believe that membership in the assocation was made available to all coaches as no membership fee was charged. I am a coach in northeast louisiana (at OCS) and have been a member of the association during both of my first two years and I voted for both boys and girls teams (Division III).

I would encourage ALL coaches to join next season (I believe the fee will be $20). We are able to vote on weekly polls, All-Academic teams, All-State nominations and balloting, as well as All-Freshmen teams.

Blessings all!
