All-star/all-county selections coming Friday
-
- July
- 9
There’s been some player of the year debate over the last 10 days or so. All of it comes to an end tomorrow when the Westchester/Putnam all-star team and the Rockland all-county team are both announced.
The POYs and the first-team, second-team and honorable-mention selections will all be published in tomorrow’s paper and on LoHud.com. I will post links to the all-star/all-county packages early in the morning.
A lot of thought goes into the selections every spring. I can tell you this year was no different. I constantly sift through information for about three weeks straight just to make sure it’s the best it can be. Obviously, it’s also the culmination of the high school season as well.
I’m just back from another brief trip, but I have a few things to share later today. Check back then.




Josh Thomson has done some of everything since joining The Journal News in
March 2003. He began working for the Gannett weeklies during the winter of
2002 as a freelance writer. He joined the daily staff soon after and has
since covered various high school and pro sports. Away from sportswriting,
Josh lives in Westchester and spends his free time either with his
fiancee, Sarah, or expertly managing his various championship-winning
fantasy sports teams. He's visited 21 major-league baseball stadiums and
insists that Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are the best by far. Josh
graduated from Carmel High School in 1998, then went to Boston University,
where, in 2002, he received a degree in communications with a minor in
history.
Jake Thomases has covered baseball, hockey, girls basketball, and girls soccer for the Journal News since arriving in 2003. He previously interned at The Poughkeepsie Journal while attending Vassar College. He is socking money away under his mattress to buy the Knicks, at which time he will trade Jerome James to Cleveland for a ham sandwich.
