2019 All-County

[Scott Zanni]

Once again this year the 25 MCPS coaches will participate in selecting the Player of the Year and the All-County teams. When the last local paper that covered volleyball shut down there were no more media outlets that annually gave out awards to players. As a result, the MCPS coaches have annually selected teams. This will be the 4th year of doing so.

The coaches will meet during the first week of December and select a Player of the Year, a first team, second team and honorable mention all-county.

The players selected will be posted here shortly thereafter.

Feel free to discuss deserving players until then.

Yesterday the MCPS Coaches met to select the 2019 Coaches All-County teams. Each varsity coach was invited to participate and vote on the process (all coaches have one vote each).

The meeting took over an hour as over 50 girls were discussed and voted on. Each of these 50+ girls are talented players who received serious consideration. In the end 33 players are honored (POY, 8 1st team, 8 2nd team and 16 Honorable Mention).

Here are the 2019 teams.
