Jackson Center senior forward Aidan Reichert has been the team’s main scorer all season and was recently named the Shelby County Athletic League’s player of the year.
Teams were announced in late February and are determined by voting of the league’s head coaches, which rank players. The leading vote-getter is named player of the year, while the top five make first team and next group of five make second team. Voting is based on regular-season performance only.
