Jeff: good points, but I think the selection committee also looks at the level of competition. And Sacred Heart’s was nothing special.

Andoverbaler: Would you like to see Springer choke like he did against Andover in the last game with 8 receptions for 207 yds.
Andover really shut him down.
Andoverbaler nothing personal but I am afraid that I am going to have to question your sanity.

Have a wonderfull day!!!

I was wondering what the criteria was for the media in picking the shrine bowl team? Who are the quarterbacks chosen for the west squad and how do their stats compare to Conner Martin out of Salina-Sacred Heart. Conner had 69 TD passes and almost 5000 yards passing in his 2 years as a starter. Last year as a junior, he was 2 TDs shy of the state record while he led the state in TD passes with 37. This year, after losing 3 senior receivers and 13 senior lettermen he had 32 TD passes and 2300+ yards.

Two years ago the media did the same thing to another quarterback at Sacred Heart-Dane Simoneau-who was eventually selected as an alternate to the shrine bowl. He went on to play very well in the Shrine Bowl game and is now the starting quarterback for Washburn after starting midway thru his redshirt freshman year. So if it is the size of the school that sways the selection committee, they should look again. I would hope that when looking at alternates, the Shrine Bowl selection committee would consider Conner Martin. The stats speak for themselves.

Andover HS Alex Croitoru had a real nice year, Alex don’t let this overshadow the season you had. ACHS Starnes is on the KSU 3rd tier or “C” list and might get a walk-on offer from them.

Alex Croitoru from Andover should be on there for sure. He was one of the top players in the Witchita area

Andoverbaler – why so bitter? If he was not deserving he would not have been selected.

Hinds57 — Starnes’ dad e-mailed me and said K-State has cooled off. He could be leaning toward Fort Hays State. But Utah State has now gotten in the mix.

In Response to Hinds57:

Most if not all the players that were selected and play in the game will be playing football at the next level whether it be Juco, NAIA, Div II, or Div. I. You are correct in that some of the Div. I schools expect their incoming freshman class to report early, which would keep them from participating in the game, but we do and will continue to have Div. I talent in the game. Just last year Logan Dold from Garden Plain, who played for Kansas State this past season, played in the game.
