This is the only region that makes geographic sense!

Woulda thought 13 assists would have gotten Bakersfield's Jesus Sanchez a spot on at least the the third team.

 

Sorry, shoulda been more clear.

These are the NSCAA all region teams. Presumably voting is done by the coaches in each region.

Four Pac-Whatever players made the Far West Region first team.

Kelyn Rowe, that conference's player of the year this season, only made the second team.

Rarely does this stuff make a lot of sense.

It also tends to skew towards upper classmen, with seniors often being rewarded for, well, being seniors.

 

There was so much going on when these were released on Friday that I didn't have much time to focus on it but going over it again, one thing that hit me were just how many Hispanic/Latino players from the US were on the all region teams.

One of the long-standing criticisms of both college and American soccer is that the Hispanic players get overlooked but looking at the list there were close to 40 obviously Hispanic players who were all region. It's hard not to see that as progress.

Here are the Hispanic/Latino players I culled from the all region lists, leaving out players from Spain or Latin America who were recruited here from abroad.
