Yep, politics at every level.
Last year DD's HS team made it to the state semi's, got 1 player one the all-state 2nd team. Meanwhile a team they trounced by run-rule and was outmatched in the playoffs sent FIVE players to the 1st and 2nd all-state teams. At least one of those players hit low .300's while DD's school had 4 players over .400 with a much tougher schedule. Of course our HC sent an assistant to the haggle-fest that is the selection meeting.
