Another great season of football has wrapped up and our last bit of information about the year comes in the form of the VirginiaPreps.com All-State teams.
Before we get to the announcement of the honorees, let's take a quick moment to review the standards that we've put into place around the teams that we name each season.
First, we limit ourselves to just twelve players on each side of the ball with four specialists and one coach of the year. We also pick just one player on each side of the ball to be our player of the year which forces us to make very difficult decisions. Last but not least, because we limit the team to a mere 28 total players and because we want to honor as many as possible, we will not name a player at more than one position.
On the defensive side of the ball, we name four defensive linemen, four linebackers, three defensive backs and one 'wildcard' position that we generically name 'athlete'.
Offensively, we name a quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, five offensive linemen and one 'wildcard' position that we generically name 'athlete'.
**Note that the All-Underclass Coach of the Year is selected from a pool of coaches in their first year with their respective program**
