High School OT Boys All-State Basketball Team:Looks like Guilford County got “The Shaft”!!!!!

High School OT Boys All-State Basketball Team

On the first team we have Nolan Hodge, from Northern Guilford High School, on the second team you’ll find Jaydon Young, from the Greensboro Day School, and on the honorable mention list we see, Nik Graves from Greensboro Day….

Congrats to those young men that made the team, but it looks like to me, that Guilford County got ripped off…Just two guys on the top three squads, and only one player on the honorable mention list….That makes no sense to me…
(They had 15 boys on the First Team, 15 on the Second Team, and 15 on the Third Team…..And a boat load on the Honorable Mention List.)

On the Honorable Mention list we should at least be seeing more names like Gilbert from Smith, why not Goods from Smith, Hairston from Dudley, Albright, Wall or Watlington from Grimsley, Ballou or Hartzell from Northwest Guilford, Scovens from Page, Saigo from Ragsdale, Helms or Elliot from Northern Guilford…

Am I crazy???? Maybe I am just too gung ho Guilford County, but I don’t like to see our kids getting slighted and ripped off….I think we got the shaft again…Anybody see it my way, or am I just wearing blinders and seeing Guilford County only, and not respecting the rest of the great state of North Carolina???

Take a look and see if you see what is missing here…CLICK HERE….Not enough reps from Guilford County, if you ask me, and nobody did, so I told you any way…WOW!!!

  1. How did Guilford County teams do in the NCHSAA boys basketball playoffs? And how many signed or will sign with Division I schools?

    Answer those questions and I think you have your answer on why more players didn’t make these all-state teams. Just not a particularly strong year in Greensboro.

  2. Still should have seen at least three or four more names on that Honorable Mention List….There is no doubt about it, Guilford County got The Shaft….Even if your team didn’t make the playoffs, that doesn’t mean a player should have been left off of the Honorable Mention team….And I have never in my life seen a team with 15 players each on the First, Second and Third teams….Anybody ever seen that before???
    (And our guys still come up nearly empty….Thankful that Hodge, Young and Graves got a boost at least, but I want MORE.)

    Let’s take Scovens of Page for example…Page lost in the first round of the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean Scovens should have been left off of the Honorable Mention team…Pretty sure he is headed to West Point next year..Outstanding young man, and has to be a super student too…Not good enough, I guess….Goods and Gilbert, from Smith, need to be on that Honorable Mention team this year, so they can at least advance to the second or third team next year…That would be thirty of the best high school basketball players in the state supposively…

    You telling me Tyler Albright is not one of the better, at least Honorable Mention basketball players in the state…His defense alone, should have gotten him an Honorable Mention…Grimsley made it the second or third round of the playoffs, that should be good enough to get Albright, Wall, or Watlington on the HM list somewhere….

    It used to be you made the Honorable Mention team to show you at least did something, and our guys did something….

    Not sure why Guilford County got The Shaft, but they did….I think Grimsley was something like (25-4) for the entire season, and you don’t get an Honorable Mention player on here???? Smith was in the neighborhood of (24-5) and they got no representation whatsoever…..Look at how well our teams did over the entire season….Look at the Full Body of Work….

    You gonna penalize them and give them The Shaft just because we didn’t have a team in the State Finals????

    I am still wondering and wandering when it comes to this slight/issue…..

  3. Reality made some great points here Andy. Let’s be real with it. Guilford county has a lot of work to do.

  4. We still need to get some recognition for the guys that did well….Even if our guys did not tear the doors down off of the gym, in the playoffs, they still had good seasons…(Good enough to be on the Honorable Mention team).

    You can’t tell that all of these other young men from other parts of the state are that much better than our guys…

    Zaach Wiggins, of Grimsley, is just as good if not better than some of the guys that made the Honorable Mention team, and Zaach is just a freshman….

    I’m just saying, and still wondering and wandering…Give me some more feedback, I need to hear from somebody that can really dispute what I have to say….

    And I’m telling you:Those guys that I mentioned in my earlier comment post should have at least been on the Honorable Mention team, and I do respect what you other two comment men are saying, and you have a right to your opinion, but in this case I feel like I am right, and our Guilford County kids have been wronged, AGAIN!!!!!
