Coaches should note several changes
to this year format. Notable that their will be (2) 1st team honors awarded, one
for each conference. Also, they should note that this year, coaches will NOT be
required to list any comments about a player who is nominated. Coaches need only
submit the players names and numbers along with the additional data as required
on their nomination form. Coaches should pay careful attention to the spelling
and players numbers when nominating. Also a change for this year will be that
the Offensive and Defensive specialist honors has been removed and an additional
Running back and Linebacker position added. Also to note is that each team has
only 1 open position to add 1 additional nomination to any of the positions on
either Offense or Defense.... NOT both as in the past.
All teams despite records and playoff status should plan on
nominating at least 1 or 2 of their players to somewhere on one of the honors.
We are requiring as in the past that each team participate at some degree in
nominating a player from their team for post-season honors. Also, coaches are to
note that ALL coaches are required to participate in the voting process that
will take place between the 1st playoff meeting and 2nd.
Also, teams are reminded that they should only nominate players
from their teams if they believe that the player is one of the top 5 or 6 at
that position on their team and just because there are X amount of positions
that they need to nominate a player to each. Do NOT flood the ballot with your
entire team. Also note that even though you might have had no wins this season,
that doesn't mean that you don't have a player to be honored as well. Nominate 1
or 2 in that case of your best players. Coaches need to keep a open mind during
this process of nominating so they can honor their kids respectfully. Also
note... this is NOT a TEAM award, it is an individual award period... Just
because your team is undefeated or only has 1 loss doesn't mean that you should
have all of your players nominated or win each and every position. That is what
playoffs are for. Your team MIGHT has the best record, but that doesn't mean
that other teams don't have just as good of players at a certain positions or
even better.
Each conference will have a MAX of 50 players make the final
Conference All-Star teams.
Any questions, coaches should call Dave
Bickel, Cell Phone 514-0382. Deadline as noted in the instructions is
Sunday, October 14, 2007 for the nominations.
