The event featured 20 Junior College teams, and one prep school (Stoneridge Prep) team.
After looking at the player ratings, I decided to compile one prep school all-star team and the usual three teams of all-stars plus honorable mention selections for JC players. That way we're comparing apples to apples...
For the most part, I followed the numbers though I also considered impact on the game, level of competition and whether the player's team won. And I only considered players I actually saw play in the event.
For M.O.P. honors in the JC division, two players tied for the top rating and they seemed equally impressive. It just seemed impossible to decide which one deserved M.O.P. honors more. So I figure if I can't decide, then I won't decide...so they're co-M.O.P.'s! I did finesse the positions a bit to make sure they were both on the first team of all-stars.
In any case, here are my all-star selections from the 2006 Azusa Pacific Fall JUCO Showcase:
