We here at West Michigan Allstar, along with title sponsor Good GMC Isuzu and ESPN 96.1FM are putting together a lineup of the elite football players in West Michigan — the 2009 West Michigan Football Allstars.
Of course we have our own ideas of who should make the grade, but our ideas aren’t what matters. The starting lineup of the West Michigan Football Allstars will be decided entirely by you, the WMA readers.
The only criteria is that the player must play for a varsity football team in West Michigan (West of Lansing, give or take).
Submit your candidates using the comments section at the bottom of this post, or by emailing their name, school and position to westmiallstar@gmail.com.
Once we’ve compiled the list of your submissions, we will post a poll on www.WestMIAllstar.com, on which readers can vote to put their candidate into the starting lineup.
Good luck, and happy voting!
