2008 Class 6 All-State Football Team

I’m going to assume that Joplin head coach Doug Buckmaster is not a member of coaches association.  Because otherwise, I have a real big complaint about no one from Joplin being selected for the all-state team.

If you want to say that TJ Moe and Blaine Dalton deserve the 2 QB spots over Devin St. Clair, I won’t argue.  Although there is a case to be made for St. Clair.  But I cannot believe that there are 4 wide receivers more deserving than record-setting Eagle Dane Kolkmeyer.  All Kolkmeyer did this year was set 4 state receiving records including yards receiving and receptions, and did it in a 10 game season as opposed to 14 games for the reception record and 11 games for the yards record.  And in their three games against fellow class 6 opponents in districts, Kolkmeyer had a combined 459 yards receiving and 4 touchdown catches, not counting a 69 yarder that was called back against Rockhurst.

As coaches have to be a member of MOFBCA for their players to eligible for the all-state team, let’s hope that Dane was only overlooked for that reason and that the AP poll will have a spot for him.  For my money, he is just as deserving of a place on the all-state team as any one in any class in the state.
