Classes AAA - A: Todd Holcomb’s 2008 Super 11 football rankings
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Someone suggested recently that we do a Super 11 for each classification. Given the response we got to the all-class Super 11 debate, that’s probably a good idea. Let’s keep the momentum going. My Class AAAAA-AAAA Super 11 rankings have already been posted. You can see them here. And the all-class Super 11 is still up for debate, too.
Below are my rankings of the best 11 players in Classes AAA-A. These aren’t official AJC rankings, just my own. And while I took the job seriously, I didn’t take three weeks to do it, so you might find me second-guessing myself. The rankings are based on all-state teams and recruiting rankings and comparing that to what I’ve seen and heard from coaches, sportswriters and fans.
