Didnt notice that he was 4th in rushing that would strengthing his argument. But the scoring thing is a little decieving because it does not take into account TD passes which one kid had 14 and the other had 13 in one fewer game. Which game was it that O-High was unable to play? Was it Castlemont? And finally who won head to head? Oh and the coaches dont really vote they just place there kids where they want them to go, you start with the teams with the most wins he places his players then the coaches work down in order.

We keep arguing about whose stats are better and whose numbers are better, but in reality, those are arbitrary. Once again, these teams were selected by the coaches. They probably had the best view of what was going on in the field of play and who had the most impact on the game and I’m sure the OAL coaches agreed that Marcus Peters had the most impact during the games.

There were plenty of athletes who probably “should’ve” been on the first team and “should’ve” been nominated for MVP.

E_CULB, no one can deny that Virgil Bridges had great numbers and played well for the Wildcats this season. BUT if we go purely off the basis of stats, like you’ve been arguing, then you’re clearly going against your own reasoning.

Hopefully you realize what I’m trying to say here…

Based on stats, Jamal Mayo is well deserving of the first team nomination. If you looked OUTSIDE of just the passing numbers, and looked up at the rushing stats, you’d see that besides of being the #2 passer in the league (based on yardage), he was also the 3rd leading rusher… and if you were to just scroll down just a bit, you’d realize that he was 4th in the league in scoring, accounting for 10 TDs for the Titans and “outscoring” Bridges 64-38.

Now, if stats were the sole reason why Bridges should be first team All-OAL, why wouldn’t these stats be taken into consideration?

But what do I know? I’m just another person staring at stats on a computer screen.

But that being said the OAL selections go by the number of wins a team has. The team that wins the most games gets the most selections on 1st team and 2nd team the team with the fewest gets 2 1st team one second (I think). Have issue with the process if you want, but the teams look about right in my eyes outside of the 1st team QB, and anybody questioning MVP has got to be kidding ever time I read an article about a Mack game it was littered with Marcus Peters highlights. Clearly he was the MVP.
