ALL UP TEAMS

     The All Upper Peninsula Football teams have been around for a while.  Over the years many different formats have been used in assembling these teams by the Upper Peninsula Sports Writers.  Sometimes they come with heights, weights, classes, First team, Second team, Third team, Dream team, ABC team, D team, etc.  Some years they are all together different.  I noticed in some of the early years they even listed what nationality the players were.  I have put these on my website by searching through old newspaper archives at various libraries.  The formats they used in the papers on any particular year is how they look here too.  I have not included the honorable mention players because those lists are far too long.  Maybe if I get some time in the distant future I will include them, but for now I think the list I have is very good.  What makes this area interesting is all the names some of you may recognize.  Its a good look at some great history of Upper Peninsula High School Football.  As always if any of you have something more you would like to share with me about this don't hesitate to email me.  If you think I might find it interesting, I bet so would many others who like to take a look at the history of Upper Peninsula High School Football.  I am always looking for any All UP Teams I do not have yet.  Also please email any corrections I need to make to these lists.  It is very easy for me to make mistakes when transferring a blurry newspaper article to the website.
