All-WNC teams released
- Thread starter WNCFan1989
- Start date
Kinda strange that Robbinsville didn't have any honorable mention yet Rosman Murphy and Swain did..Would that be left up to the Robbinsville Coaches?
How many players did each of the teams have on each team and the honorable mention?
Can you break it down by team, ie first team, second, honorable mention.
Wish their paper allowed a visitor to have a few free views a month. I think that can actually help a paper.
I could only wish that my former high school was so successful that after a 15-0 season, winning their 14th state championship and beating their arch rival twice in the same season, that somebody would have the audacity to complain about the All-WNC award selections in the ACT, which has notoriously shatty local sports coverage anyways... Lol. I'm just messin'. I get it though, there's nothing else to do out there. My fams gotta place on Fontana, but I often find myself at Santeelah. Got a couple of friends I've met or played with over the years from out that way. Some of the best ppl in the world. Congrats again on constantly being the goal that others want to achieve.
