2009 All-Star/All-County picks
-
- July
- 10
As I said yesterday, today is the debut of the Westchester/Putnam all-star and Rockland all-county teams in the newspaper and here on LoHud.com. Here are some quick details and some links:
WESTCHESTER/PUTNAM — Our player of the year was Matt McGovern of Mamaroneck. The senior finished his career strong, leading the Tigers to a second straight Class AA state championship with his play at the plate and on the mound. McGovern also received the top honor on this side of the river. He was named our athlete of the season for all sports.
Ted Huffman of Dobbs Ferry was named coach of the year after leading the Eagles to a surprising appearance in the Class B state final.
Here is the link to the rest of the Westchester/Putnam first-team all-stars, as well as the second-teamers and honorable mentions.
ROCKLAND — Our player of the year was Jim Brennan of Suffern. Before the senior was picked by the Tigers in the MLB draft, he led the Mounties both at the plate, in the field and on the mound.
Phil Carbone of Nanuet was named coach of the year. The Golden Knights finished the regular season 16-3.
Here is the link to the rest of the Rockland first-team all-county, as well as the second-teamers and honorable mentions.
