The Process to our South Dakota: 9A All-State Championship Team
How did we put this team together? We took several pages of notes on Thursday evening and utilized the stats portion as well (although as usual, we don’t just evaluate off stats at Prep Redzone Dakotas alone-the skillsets we saw on the field matter most in our eyes) Unlike how it is done at the state championship games, we do not just give the team that won all the love as for a lot of these seniors, this might be the last time they get recognization at the high school level which is why it so important to read the eyes of how BOTH teams players looked throughout the 9A state final. Between the 9A state champion Gregory Gorillas and the 9A runner-ups from the Warner Monarchs, we identified __ players (some on both sides of the ball) to make our South Dakota 9A All-Tournament Team showing off the best of the best players from both rosters. I also looked at it from the perspective of, if I could build a Super Team from both of these rosters, who would I build it around on both sides of the ball? Both programs had a good chuck of very under-the-radar talent that could play at the next level.
