2004 McDonald's All America Nominees

[DaneFan2k3]

This is somewhat old "news", as it is from January 12. But I just found it, and so I will now share. Take from it what you will.

 

Both Brent Wilson and Brian Lillis were on the list of 32 McD's All American Nominees from the state of Iowa ... Joe Dyson was one of 16 to be nominated from Delaware ... In all, it seems to be a pretty easy first nomination process, as 2,500 kids were nominated nationally.

 

Bauman was not one of the only 10 Pennsylvania nominees (seems strange that with two major Metropolitan areas you get just 10 nominations from that state) ... of note from Pa. was Bilal Benn (Siena).

 

On the women's side, only Gia Sanders made the cut, as one of 27 nominees from the state of Maryland.

 

Todd Martin was nominated as one of about a million from CA last year, but Iati was not. Jamar was not nominated in 2002.

 

While they are clearly not going to make the cut, here is how the process works:

Here is the announcement of the nominations:

I believe Iati was on the list as a nominee for aMcDonald's All American last year.

Martin was a nominee last year as well.

I checked the list and Iati wasn't on there, that is why I posted it. I put in my post that Martin was on the list, but CA had literally maybe 200 people on the list.

Jon Iati WAS nominated as 2003 McDonald's All-American! Check your list again. He is listed on page 33 as John Lati (misspelled) York Catholic, York, PA.

In fact, it appears Jon Iati was 1 of only 19 from Pennsylvania.

Lati ... funny ... so that's good then. Of course, who knows how the nomination process works, but it's good to have something I guess.

Lati.......... Hmmmmmmm??????

 

Do you think we might have gotten the wrong guy fron York, Pa.

[Danes Spectator]

I don't believe we got the wrong player. The Albany equipment staff made this same spelling mistake when they first had the names put on the player's jerseys before the first game. No mistake about it, he's the right kid from PA!
