" First off, for C-2 how can Kyle Schomerus for Palmyra not make All-state for C-2 averaging 24 a game with getting double team each game. You may want to do more research next year. P.S. you have him listed as a senior he's only a Sophomore. "

" If you knew basketball, you'd know that averaging 24 points a game is a small part of the game. What about the kids that get him the ball and rebound his missed shots. Other things that need to be taken into consideration are attitude. There isn't any excuse for listing him as a Sr. though. That I do agree with. "
