Just what does it take to make the 2012 sportswriters all-region basketball team in class one? A couple of 40 point plus games and a couple of 30 point was not good enough for one player from Richland to make this team. Not to mention over 12.5 rebounds per game and 5 blocks per game. In addition, I guess his over 20 point per game average did not matter much either. So called Sportswiters, what does it take to make the team?????????

I did not vote on this year's team. But I agree with the selections to this year's team.

Interesting note: All of the players listed on the Class 1 team played on teams that finished with winning records.

Your "interesting note" speaks volumes....it will be interesting to see how many of those class one All-region players go on to play at the next level.
