2017 All-County teams

[Scott Zanni]

Later this month the 25 MCPS varsity girls volleyball coaches will meet and select the 2017 All-County teams. Here is some brief information on how this works.

AWARDS: Coaches will select the following
Player of the Year (1 player)
1st Team All-County (8 total players with at least one player from each position: setter, Outside hitter, MH, libero)
2nd Team All-County (8 total players with at least one player from each position: setter, Outside hitter, MD, libero)
Honorable Mention (16 total player with at least one player from each position)

TOTAL PLAYERS SELECTED: 33

PROCESS: Player of the Year is selected first, then 1st team, 2nd team, etc. Each varsity coach present gets one vote (no proxies) during the selection of each level (POY, 1st, etc.)


The 33 players selected will be posted here and on County Sports Zone. Their names will be forwarded to the Washington Post for consideration of All-Met selections.

Each player selected will receive a certificate to commemorate their selection. Teams will be announced at the end of November.

Looks like a great list. Congrats to Jenaisya!! She worked hard as did her whole team to win the state title. There is a lot of talent in the county. I had hoped Dasha-MH and Michelle-DS from NW would have made the list but everyone on this list is deserving so the coaches would just have to add more. And there has to be a limit I guess.

Looks about right on counts too
4 - Damascus, Churchill
3 - NW, Magruder, Wootton
2 - Sherwood, RM, WJ, Blair, BCC
1- Blake, Watkins Mill, Kennedy, QO, Gaithersburg, Whitman

Tough but good job, Coaches.

Why wasn’t a Libero put on the Second-Team?

Rachel Bennett is technically a Libero, along with a few OH. The second team is stacked with a few defenders who also play OH for their hs teams.

Update: Players who received all-county honors will have their certificates sent to their school later this week and should arrive early next week.

Big thanks to Rockville coach Stacey Krebs for putting the certificates together!
