Andrew Adkins? How much pull does his dad have to get him on the all state list? He wouldn't even start at George Wythe or Gate City.

that might be true

He deserved it. The guy can flat out ball. I doubt a coach at a small school like coeburn would have much pull on deciding an all state team so you can throw out your conspiracy theorys out the window.

Good point.

I think he was 3rd in the state in scoring, that probably had something to do with it. I'm surprised Hackney wasn't on that list though.

If I was putting together a team I'd take the first and second 5 of George Wythe over Adkins. Do you really believe he's a better basketball player than Tihlee, Hackney, or Fisher? Adkins is a good spot shooter (Salyers from Gate City was better) who plays very little defense on a team that didn't even make it to regions.

Coeburn did made it to regions but got knocked out by Castlewood in the first round.

That's your opinion.

However, your opinion differs from the guys who make the all-state selections, so deal with it.
