Its a pity they do this before the post season, Jordan Ward deserves more than an honorable mention.
How in the world did Kendall Kelly not make anything for running back with 23 touchdowns?
It's a shame for SM West they forget about their Seniors and decided to focus on sophomores and juniors. So work hard and need help and proper coaching but be left out on your final year to play for SMW.
JM1771, The team is voted on by all the Sunflower League Head Coaches after week 9. So, whatever Kelly's stats were after the regular season is what it was based off of.
not sure what measuring stick they used when they voted...i don't think it was rushing yards cause Colbert wasn't on top 10 rushing list in week 9 and Ward was. Kelly had 2nd most rushing td's in week 9 with 17.
Exactly what is the shame for SM West? Can you back up how these seniors were overlooked because I don't really see any numbers that show they should be up on the All-League Teams. This isn't an All-Senior All-League team, it's mostly based on production. I counted 5 seniors from SM West on this list (Honorable Mention). Which seniors were left off? Did they actually play?
I'm not sure exactly how it works but I don't think West gets to decide if one of thier own players gets 1st team.
To TheRedZone, Coaches will put up and promote certain players for whatever reason. A lot of the times,(Like the Heisman) they try not to split votes with two guys at the same position, so they will put up kids (like Kelsh and Kelly) and push for 1 guy over the other. In the EKL it was easier because (at the time) there were only 5 teams that all played each other. The Sunflower has 12 teams all pushing their kids, and a lot of coaches simply haven't seen kids play.
That being said- The Coaches are not slaves to stats. They know who they game plan for, kick away from, etc. etc. and what player they truly are afraid of seeing the ball. So, I'm guessing someone like Teddy Colbert- who I believe was averaging 12 yds a carry or something stupid like that, might get that "coach's respect"
This is just an opinion of guy that's been in the biz.
