HOW WE CHOOSE TEAMS
At the conclusion of each high school season, The News-Press staff sends Lee County athletic directors a nomination form for coaches to select and rank players for our All-Area first teams and to also nominate athletes for the second team, honorable mention list and coach of the year. A combination of The News-Press' research and the coaches’ player rankings lead to the teams being selected. The News-Press will not name player of the year finalists or winners.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR FINALISTS/WINNERS
This season a Southwest Florida High School Sports Award Team will be selected in each sport comprised of the best athletes from both the News-Press and Naples Daily News All-Area teams. The combined regional teams for the fall sports will be revealed on consecutive Sundays starting Dec. 20. The Southwest Florida Player of the Year in each sport will be picked from the regional team. The finalists for the award as well as the winners will be announced during an online, on-demand sports awards show scheduled to premiere at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 24, 2021, on naplesnews.com, news-press.com and YouTube. More details to come.
