  1. What a travesty!!!!!! How does Troy come in 2nd in the big 10 and really be the only team besides Shaker in the sectionals to give Albany a scare not have girls on the 2nd team aling with Albany. Cheyenne Williams and Courtney Avery both belong on the 2nd team. Thats CRAZY!!!

  2. I am sorry!!! Kristin Knockwood as well!!!

    Troy Dad-
    Don’t get so bent out of shape about 2nd team selections. The first team is right on the money. After that it has always been like the Major League All Star Teams in Baseball, a few from each team to keep everyone happy. Troy has a great year and went further than any girl’s team in section 2. I’ve heard though that the well is dry after this year with the exception of the two first team stars. Enjoy it while you can.

  5. Mav if what you say is true and the well is dry I am trying to enjoy it. Those girls desrve the accolades and should get them. BTW.. The way class A is don’t count Troy out.. 2 first team all stars some role players and a great coach can spell a repeat!!!!!

    Troy Dad-
