that a way Jason

Cedric Mitchell definitely deserved the QB award... he was pretty good, and next year he'll be even better.

And the year after that... who knows what will happen.

Congrats to Tyler Parks, though. To be a sophomore, that guy could/can run the ball like a beast. When he's a senior, he's probably going to be just about unstoppable.

Congrats Neeley.. I know you worked hard man. Well deserved

Its going to be exciting to watch Mitchell, Parks and Stewart for the next 2 years.

Rickie Harris, defensive lineman of the year, not bad for a sophomore fellas, Im glad somebody saw what I saw and voted for him.

IMO, Ethan Lopez got robbed!! He should have made first team defense. Just proves what I have always said about the all district voting from P.V. for the most part is not how well you play, but how much money you have. Just look at his stats for this year. He easily had better stats than Spurlock or Lane.

Congratulations to all that were choosen and especially to Jason and Chad. The future looks bright at PV as well with several players coming back who earned all LPD honors.

Chad Lane was by far the best defensive player in the LPD this year. And your entire statement about the all district voting at PV makes entirely no sense.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion as well as I am entitled to mine. Like I said, just look at Ethan's stats.
