Brody Eaves is a special player but to say the second team picks were "wrong" is an in-direct pot shot at those who made the second team. You don't know the format and there were numerous voters who cover a variety of the East Texas area. I appreciate your feedback because I/we don't expect everyone to agree, everyone has their favorite team and/or even district. Brody Eaves has been honored by Smoaky.com before and he is all over the Carlisle historical section.

I never received any response for nominations.
