How do you make first team all-state and second team all-district?
It happened to my brother-in-law in football. 2nd team all-district, 1st team all-state. Why? Because one of the coaches in the district wanted his QB to be 1st team all-district, so he voted for the worst QB in the district so that another coach would vote on his kid.
