  1. I am writing in response to the PA Sports Writers' Class A, Highschool Football Team Selection. I cannot understand the how Union, Rimersburg's Brody Shick - DB/SS was left out of this year's selection. Brody was #1 in Class A, AA, & AAA in Interceptions with 10, including a TD return. He added 64 total tackles and and a fumble recovery. Doug Twigg's defensive numbers didn't come close to Brody's?
    Doug had 8 INT's and 38 total tackles, 2 fumble recoveries?! Dywan Blanding, 7 INT's, over 100 tackles...no stats on Max Preps though, and Titus Howard...no stats on Max Preps either. I understand he helped win a 4th state tital, but Brody Shick broke last year's INT total of a PA All-state selection, Brody Pollock's, Season and Career records. Brody Shick's defensive plays were key in our 9-1, 9-2 season. Gentlemen, who voted, shame on you for missing this kid! He earned it and deserves it.
