The Star’s selection process

The Kansas City Star’s All-Metro selections were made by members of the high school sports staff, who consulted with coaches. An athlete must particpate in at least 60 percent of the competition for which the athlete has qualified to be eligible for first-team selection and 50 percent to be eligible for second-team and honorable-mention selection. At least 10 percent of the Kansas City metropolitan area high schools must participate in a sport for an All-Metro team to be selected. First-team, second-team and honorable mention selections are made in sports with more than 40 percent participation.
