Wanted to offer a “thank you” to all winter sports coaches who responded to requests for all-county nominees. Special thanks to those who offered thoughts on athletes from other teams. Also, thanks to @AP_Writess for his suggestions. Very much appreciated from all of you here!

Thank you to the many coaches who have sent in ballots. We want to make the best picks for all-county teams and players of the year. To do that, we need your help. So, thank you again.

Winter sports coaches, we sent out all-county ballots in late Feb & can’t wait any longer to pick our teams. Today is the final (extended 2x) deadline. If you did not send in a ballot & didn’t do stats on MaxPreps & we get complaints, they will be redirected to you.

To any winter sports coaches who may have sent DMs to this account and didn’t get a reply, please DM @John_D_Patton. I am unable to see DMs here (need a number code I don’t have). Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks!

Note to coaches who have sent in winter all-county ballots: You all should have received reply emails letting you know we got your nominees. If you didn’t, please check in again. Thanks! And to coaches who haven’t sent anything in, please do so ASAP. Thank you all for nominating.
