All-State teams are based off of All-District selections made by the coaches. Players are ranked in the all-district teams 1-10. 1 being the best player voted on by the coaches. So if a kid averaged 25 and was ranked 3 or 4th in the district, he probably will not make all-state. Does that make since? There are great teams that have better players but have 5 kids that can score and not just 1. There are a lot of ways to look at it. You are looking at 20 spots for 16 districts. There will always be ones that are deserving, but it is not watered down either. Congrats to the ones that have made it.
