The Daily Local News published their picks in today’s paper for First and Second Team All-Area Offense and Defense. Emmett Hunt didn’t make EITHER Team, NOR was he included in Honorable Mention! This was right next to an article named “Hunt’s storied season one to remember”, no less…

Kyle Lauletta (Downingtown East) was selected to the first-team, and Joe Viviano (Conestoga) was selected to the second-team. I understand how you can make a case for Lauletta for at least the second team, and Viviano did have some impressive stats, but come on! Hunt had a historic season where he led his team to the state championship game, and also had better stats than either Lauletta or Viviano – which was also true before Coatesville had more games played than Downingtown East and Conestoga.

Did anyone else catch this, or can someone help me understand the reasoning here? Maybe I’m missing something.

Following a 3-7 record last year, he took his team to the Eastern state quarterfinal against Allentown Central Catholic, beat Berwick in District 2 championship game and finished with a 10-3 record.

Only losses in the regular season were against Scranton and Delaware Valley, the 2 best teams in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year.

Excellent job by the coaching staff as a whole.
