Some warranted, some not, which appear to be political or personal! I can’t believe the ball players that are not on this list and the ones that should be flip-flopped between first and second teams! Centennial League coaches the laughingstock once more! It’s all about the kids, right? HaHa. Check your egos elsewhere.
Maybe in the future CHSAA should monitor this group of coaches to make sure the selections are based on merit. Or better yet investigate and see if they can defend their selections this year. To blacklist some of the best players in the league due to personal grudges is shameful.
