J-S 2009 All-Area votes

It's pretty interesting this year for the J-S All-Area team is shaping up for this season.

Four coaches, to this point, have voted for our the honors of the All-Area team, Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards.

Right now each coach has voted for a different player of the year and coach of the year as well.

River Ridge/Scales Mound's Jeff Steele, Lena-Winslow's Adam Blair, Dakota Cody Jacobson and Eastland's Zach Truckenmiller have all received J-S Player of the Year votes.

J-S Coach of the Year so far is just as scattered in votes. Area mainstays Eastland's Lenny Freidhof and Lena-Winslow's Tom Smargiassi along with surprising votes for Galena's Greg Tancrell and Aquin's Todd Kramer have all earned votes.

Warren/Stockton's P/INF Mike Werkheiser and RR/SM coach Mike Dittmar earned player and coach of the year honors respectively in 2008.
