Congrats to Jaxin Winfrey, Aaron Wolford and Connor Bailey on your recognition.

Tyson Henry should have been selected as at least HM. Highly likely that he was more productive and impactful than more than one running back on these lists.

Take a look at this page, not for the Great Indian players, but notice its a who is who of magnet, open enrollment, recruitment schools. When you pick a Coach of the year and you won State last year and are predicted to win state this year. How can you be COTY?

By picking him COTY tells everyone in Texas that recruiting gets rewarded, how are you gonna tell me he is the best coach in the state at 5A when he has an illegal roster?!?! Make this make sense.
