I know that all of these boys have worked hard all year long, and I don’t mean to diminish their efforts, but I have to disagree with the RB choices for the All Arizona Team. I think the coaches are a bit biased. How can they choose the #19 & #33 ranked RBs in the state over the #1 & #5 RBs who have 1000 plus more yards on the season? Is it because the #1 & #5 RBs are Division III? Just don’t understand, especially when Guida put up more than a 200yd average per game on the season (including playoffs).
Apparently this list was released prematurely. The “real” or “official” list will supposedly be coming out on Monday (according to a couple of other sites who also posted the premature list). ROFL!!!
Interesting. Thanks. I’ll look/ask around for them. I was unaware this was a “practice” list.
