It’s that time of the year again, that pisses off all bloggers. All-Conference voting was tonight. All-State will be submitted in the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, tomorrow morning the arguments will begin and last till January.
The entire all state team has been picked. DMANaturally it will piss people off because half of it is about how you team finishes, 25% is name recognition prior to voting and last 25% is actually talent.
Every once in a while true talent will outweigh some names

80 percent DMACoaches should have to things in front of them when voting for All Conference/ All State:
#1 - Players stats
#2 - Player’s team record (to see who they played)
With that being said, the amount of kids making up All State should be roughly 75-80% D1 players and the remainder D2 players
Like we lost 14-8 to the mighty d one school we played lol with three starteing linemen out. Today we beat them. 45 O. You have no respect for the kids. There are monsters in D2 this year . With more college Bound kids then D 1 from what I have been reading. DMAI would save the D2 players for like an all-participation team. As in they were on the field and that’s about it.
Save the treats for the dogs.

Only the Third ranked this year in your division. You have lost touch with the reality. All the talent is in D2 accept for like will knight.What D1 school did you play? The worst one ever?

Yeah because DI is so elite here in little Delaware.
DI football stinks. Just look at Flight A. It sucks.
DII has some really good players and just because you don't play on a winning team doesn't mean you aren't any good.
One thing about trash it all ends up in the same placeUmmmmm, Flight A had 3 of the 6 teams that made it to the D1 playoffs smart guy.......

I believe when it comes to All-State, it makes it difficult for some players in D2, because the Flight A, Henlopen North, and Sallies coaches ONLY vote for D1 players, because that’s who they get to see and play against. Now, if there is a big name player in D2 with a bunch of college offers, they too will fill them in on their 3 team rosters.
The D2 coaches vote usually gets split, because they tend to focus on the kids in their individual conferences and still vote for the D1 players with big names and/or team reputation. When you throw the Diamond Conference and Independents in there, they also focus on the reputation of the larger D1 schools and big name players.
On top of all of that, you never know what happens behind the magic curtain of DIFCA. It may be different this year with Delpercio not pulling the strings and counting votes.
If you look at the top 3-4 D1 teams Vs the top 3-4 D2 teams the game is enormous. Blowouts on each.Yeah and the rest of the teams are god awful. WP isn’t very good either . They lost every tough game they played including the one to Sallies. Heck they almost lost to Concord if not for a fluke fumble .
I just don’t see DI football being that much better than D2. The gap isn’t all that much .
ThisMiddletown and Smyrna are the only DI teams that are far better than the top teams in DII.
DMA barely beat Archmere by 2pts and they are not even in the D2 Playoffs, so your point is???............I won't say top 3-4.
Hodgson beat DMA by a score. So the gap isn't that far off. HOWEVER the gap from Middletown/Smyrna compared to everyone else in the state, D1 or D2 is a wide margin IMO.
Thanks for sharing........lolI forgot about that game Swag....so I guess my point is mute at this point lol. Thanks!
Come on, take the drive down 113 it's always worth it. Fresh air and good football on a crisp Friday night. And yes the Barnes are fun to watch. Great football players and yet better kids from great families.Quick question....will the drive to Central be worth it? Would like to see the Barnes brothers. In case they get to travel north to Middletown, but I can't stand the drive down there just watch someone else play that's not my own.
I'll also be at the Hodgson/CR game Saturday, although I believe it might be a blow out.
Oh Lord, didn't someone quit the board over that?Idk, the last time I was down there, it was the. Famous "rock throwing" incident lol.
Yeah, it was 2011. The day after the game everyone was kind of joking, "Who threw the rock?" One of the people mentioned jokingly was NR, he got really upset and left the board for good.Sallies/Central Semi final playoff game. I think it was 2007 maybe 2008, there was a poster on here named "NewarkRocks". His Kid played Defensive End for Sallies. At some point during halftime, someone threw a rock from behind the stands that happened to hit him or BlueTea. I missed it, I was on the sidelines with Chesdel and Uncle Angelo.
It caused a big deal. So ever since, "NewarkRocks" hasn't been heard of.
