You really vote in all classes?
Hey MSLFan
Yes, I do vote in all classes. The AP made a big change this year to a computerized system that opened up voting to more people. In the past, one writer was responsible for ranking one class (in my tenure here I had 5A in the six-class era and went up to 7A when the state went to eight classes). Fortunately we've got a good network of writers around the state trading information about all the classes - particularly the smaller ones which obviously I don't see or have a tremendous amount of knowledge on.
