Some of you have written with questions about the Kansas Football Coaches Association’s All-State football team. (Click here to see the team.) How, some of you have asked, could Carroll’s record-setting quarterback Blake Bell have been left off the team?
The answer is pretty simple. The coaches’ all-state team is a senior-only team. Bell is a junior.
That makes the all-state team pretty unique. But that’s the way the coaches want to do it.
There are probably some other selections you might wonder about.
Any coach who was a member of the KFCA could nominate a player for all-state. The coach then had to provide film for other coaches to watch. No film, no nomination.
Interested KFCA coaches then met in Wichita to watch all the film. There were at least a dozen coaches in each classification who watched the film, selected an all-state team for their classification and then nominated the most outstanding players for the Top 11 team.
All the coaches then watched the film of the Top 11 nominees and voted on that group.
I'll say this, that's more work than goes into selecting any other all-state team I've ever heard of.
