Full story →The Eagle's 2011 Top 11 football team
Top 11 and All-Class football teams are selected by The Wichita Eagle with the help of coaches across Kansas.
Every coach in the state is mailed a ballot to return to The Eagle, by mail or online, by the end of the season. Coaches may nominate their own players and players from other teams. They also are asked to supply statistics and comment on players they nominate.
The teams were selected by Joanna Chadwick. She tabulated nominations from the ballots and received additional input from coaches and other media members.
Top 11 teams are selected regardless of position, while All-Class teams are selected by position.
