Who made All-CIF ... anyone know?

A volleyball mom called today and asked the Prep-dog who made All-CIF. Now there's the $64,000 question. As the dog detailed in a previous post, the CIF, LA84foundation.org and the individual divisional volleyball chairmen are all passing the buck when it comes to releasing these teams. Talk about mysteries ... this is like "who killed J.R?" The All-CIF teams for volleyball, football etc. are the most closely guarded secrets since the formula for Coca-Cola.

CIF says it's not its team anymore - it's picked by the coaches and they're not involved. The various chairmen say it's not their job to send out the teams. As for LA84, the lists aren't on their Web site and probably won't be anytime soon.

Why did they pick All-CIF, or whatever you want to call it? Who knows? As I said in an earlier post, it's like holding the CIF title games in football before empty stadiums. It's like picking All-Pro for NFL football and then lighting the list on fire.

It's mind-boggling, too, because in these days of fax machines and e-mail and cell phones, it's even more difficult to find out the results of an all-section team than 1979 when the dog first started collecting such information.

Maybe the beauty of All-CIF in 2007-2008 is anybody a little shady can say they made it - I mean, who is going to dispute it? There may be a list somewhere, but it's being held in Fort Knox. Or maybe floating around in someone's toilet.

Perhaps I'll call Robert Stack ... it's an unsolved mystery.
