All Observer nominations have gone out

Each year the Observer names its all-star teams, called the All Observer teams. The All Observer team signifies the best players in the newspaper's 125-school coverage area.

Regional teams are also named in Mecklenburg County (All-Mecklenburg) and the N.C. Piedmont and Upper State S.C. (All-Region).

Players must be nominated by their coaches to make teams. Those nomination forms, which are due Tuesday, were sent to coaches today.

The All-Observer teams for winter sports will appear next month in the newspaper.
