Ronster23 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Congrats to the following Overton Mustangs for being named Padilla Poll Coaches 2A DII All-State Team: 1st Team Matthew McPherson - Offensive Line Jayden Edwards - Wide Receiver Kash Fletcher - Linebacker 2nd Team Vance Fletcher - Offensive Line Isaiah Hawkins - Wide Receiver Bryce Still - Quarterback Honorable Mention Rylan Holleman - Wide Receiver Eathen Oates - Defensive Line Justin Weir - Linebacker
GoodOleBoy73 Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Congrats to these kids...but I've never understood Padilla Poll all-state lists. Don't know how you can call it an "All-State" list but only people who pay your subscription are eligible. Several teams across the state get left out of "the godfathers" list...

Padilla all state teams have ZERO credibility. It just quid pro quo scheme for him to get subscribers to his hack publication. 1

I mean its his publication so he can definitely call it what he chooses....its just a matter of how much stock you put into it...but congrats to those kids for the recognition regardless

I just see a lot of coaches sharing this stuff (as they should...always promote the kids!) but I think it has significantly less merit than other publications. I'd be embarrassed if I were a school that had 10 kids land on the "All-State" team and my team finished 4th in district play behind teams with 0 kids on the "All-State" teams! Appreciate your response though @MattStepp. You guys do it the right way over at DCTF.

I'd love for DCTF to do an all-state team but its a big lift with everything else we have going...hopefully we can get a sponsor to do one 1
