At the end of each sporting season, the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) alongside with the Texas Army National Guard select student-athletes, managers and trainers as members of the THSCA Academic All-State leaders.
The list for the 2019-2020 THSCA Academic All-State Football Team was released Monday.
Student-athletes juggle everything from athletic pressures to school pressure on a regular basis, so the THSCA and the Texas National Guard like to make sure the hard work put forth by these students does not go unnoticed.
The students are selected by a point system in which students receive points for excelling in the following categories: GPA, class rank, and ACT/SAT score. Based on the score, they are then placed into teams with the highest team being the Elite Team. Other teams include: 1st Team, 2nd Team and Honorable Mention.
In order to make the short list of Elite Team members, students must be an athlete, student trainer or manager in good standing with the team, have good moral character, be a senior and have an overall grade point average of 92 or above between ninth and twelfth grade.
