Next up in the line of awards to be handed out following this season is the All-Valley Team. You may recall that we revived this concept last season with the help of DWDrake, Thevoice, and the Valley coaches. We did the same this year with 10 voters, including the two aforementioned bloggers, Kyle and Remmy, Shelton coach Jeff Roy, Derby coach George French, Ansonia coach Tom Brockett, Seymour coach Tom Lennon, Woodland coach Tim Shea, and Oxford coach Joe Stochmal.
Without further ado, we are proud to announce the 2011 All-Valley Team.
