The Optimists game is a compilation of players that were voted on the All State Team, and then it filters down to WDA/EDC/Regional selections if they need to fill out teams. You're "awarded" the oppurtunity to play.
Considering both Class A/B play together, you're looking at selecting 10-12 kids from the East in both Class A/B that were voted All State, and then EDC/Regional selections if needed.
I don't know who was voted to All State from Red River. I would assume Evers is playing basketball, so she cannot play volleyball. Sometimes things come up and kids just don't want to participate, which could be very likely too. I see Steffans/Stoley are alternates, so they must have been EDC at least.
I see Steffan was All State this year. All State is voted on as a point system. It is most likely that she recieved less votes than the players who are participating, and not enough All State players denied the invitation for rank to get down to her to be asked.

Whomever was next on the voting list, which is a much more established, and credited form of selection.yosports wrote:So they chose who??
