With the 2019 season just around the corner, we are proud to announce for the 4th year in a row our preseason All-State teams. This list is not solely based off last year’s performances, but players that we anticipate to have a big season. Below the All-State team we have listed out honorable mentions.

That is a joke !!!
How can you not have any MPC kids on this list, A QB who was Offensive player of the year in the region is snubbed by a kid who didn’t take a snap, No disrespect to Darlington Qb who is a great player but come on? Why not have a TE spot ..MPC TE is one if not the best in Private A, OT all Region two years in a row, C who is one of the best, and a transfer WR who was 7A all region kid??? Someone has no love for Mt. Paran….that just more fuel for them heading into the season….Congrats to all that made hope they all have great seasons…
David Bertrand from Mount Pisgah is the number 1 ranked long snapper in the class of 2021 in the entire country, but does not even make honorable mention?
I don’t do long snappers for All-State
How is Mount Parans QB and TE not on this list?
Jackson Manning is listed on HM. Maybe I should bold his name?
Guess they don’t like Mt.Paran
So what is your reason for leaving the QB of Mt. Paran off ?? Not even an HM ??? Come on man !!!
Snubbing North Cobb Christian as well who made it to the third round of the playoffs last year?!?!
Never seen so much complaining about a pre-season list?? Obviously they thought others warranted the list more. Jeez go prove them wrong.
My opinion # 8 is the best linebacker at 1a he got no love
