For the first time ever, Ad Astra Radio has attempted an All Area football team. Although the sports crew all had a say for this, we’re sure with it being the first time we’ve tried this, there will likely be an oversight or two.
We started small with a Top 11 for area 11-man teams, and a Top Eight for area eight-man and six-man teams. We attempted to go beyond skill positions and statistics for some spots.
We also have a coach and player of the year for each list.
Congratulations to all the players and coaches who made the team.
