I am sorry but this list is BS. This list really needs to be taught more thoroughly.

Full disclosure: I wasn't involved in the selection process as I'm not coaching in the spring so I have no vested interest in the selections.

That said, I find it hard to take any post like the one above seriously. It completely fails to acknowledge that a group of coaches donated their time and energy to fill a void that was left when the last local county newspapers closed. Without coaches doing this there would be no all-county team. A simple thank you often goes a long way.

Additionally, calling the teams "BS" without any attempt at explanation of a legitimate difference of opinion isn't productive. Obviously any list is subjective and reasonable people can and do disagree, respectfully.

Finally, if you really feel that strongly about your "BS" opinion, have the courage to sign your name.
