The UIL has published their All-Time Offensive and Defensive Teams as selected by the fans and I have to say they did a pretty good job. There may be a slight quibble here or there, such as how do you leave the national record holder in career rushing yardage, Ken Hall, off the first team, but it's hard to argue that Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson are undeserving of first team accolades.
I wonder how the college & professional careers of the players weighed on the voters minds. I don't remember seeing the criteria for the voting, but LaDainian Tomlinson & Earl Campbell both started their high school careers as linebackers and therefore didn't rack up huge career numbers in high school and Raymond Berry didn't blossom as a receiver until he reached the NFL.
