1000 Yard Guy's Class B All-State Football Teams

This is the first season I have picked an entire offense/defense. On defense, all positions are not included as indicated by one lineman. The obvious problem with this selection is that I do not have the luxury of coaches sending in nomination sheets like the major newspapers receive. My base for these picks is live games I have witnessed, game film (lots of it) and conversions with coaches throughout the state.

Classes C-1, C-2 D-1, and D-2 will follow the next few days, with C-1 coming later Tuesday.
