[B-DOG FAN]

How in the heck does Goddard get more all-staters over us and Roswell? Goddard gets 11 kids (half of them I don't even recognize their names), and we get 8 and Roswell 7!!! I can understand a state championship team getting more than the other teams, but lets not kid ourselves....Goddard didn't play a tough schedule like we did. Goddard was not better than us. They did a great job controlling the clock and as long as our offense is on the sideline we can't score any points. so they beat us. But still, ELEVEN....?

[Agent Orange]

I'm more shocked they had 11 different kids, figure 6 or 7 play both sides of the ball.

Give the Devil his due, they beat Los Lunas once, lost to Roswell by 3 and beat us too.

Don't sleep on Goddard, they will continue to be a tough opponent for us in the years ahead, their freshman team dominated Border Conference.

[Agent Orange]

well looking at it again, a few from Goddard made it on offense and defense.

[B-DOG FAN]

Yes, Goddard will be tough in district. But I can only wonder how much politics is involved in this selection. I feel like our district has become a "Leave no player behind". We know for a fact that Goddard's secondary was NOT better than Roswell high's secondary or even our's for that matter. How does Goddard get their kids in there? It's not like Goddard reports stats to the NMAA or Max Preps. So how do these kids get in? The only thing I can think of is that district coaches are voting them in. If so, shame on them. All of these kids deserve to be treated fairly and would hope that they are or aren't selected based off of honesty and fairness, just as their respected coach expects them to be in character. No wonder kids these days feel entitled. Especially when they aren't deserving of this award. It used to be an HONOR to be selected All-State (even all-district honors) and put that badge on your varsity letter-man jacket. Kids and fans know who was the best and now there is no respect for this award. Within time the NMAA (and our district coaches too) will be scratching their heads wondering why there is no respect for NMAA awards. What a shame!

[Agent Orange]

Politics play a role in a lot of things lol, wouldn't surprise me if it did here too.

I see your point. Maybe only half the coaches filled the forms out completely too, who knows.
