Countdown to All-County

This week the R&L sports department staff will discuss who we think should be on the All-County teams, which will be announced the week of June 9.

There are six spring sports, and nominations have been streaming in from Iredell County high school coaches who want us to consider their athletes.

The process is a challenging one for the simple fact there always tends to be an outstanding pool of nominees to choose from. (That goes for fall and winter sports seasons, too.)

This year is shaping up no differently.

The R&L also selects a county player of the year (or athlete of the year, in the case of track and field) in all sports. Those will be announced the week of June 9, as well.
