We have concluded another high school season, it happened to be the first year that we provided game coverage for high school.
Last week, the All-Long Island College team was released. It received positive feedback so we decided to compile a high school version of the list.
This will be done a little different. Rather than a position-by-position list, we will hand out two coveted awards.
