East Tennessee All-Regional Baseball/Softball Awards

It is time to hand out some honors as we announce the inaugural Carter County Sports’ East Tennessee All-Regional Baseball and Softball Awards for the 2014 season. Each sport is divided into Class A and Class AA. To be selected, players from schools in Region 1 were considered by an expert panel. Players could be placed on the team in positions outside of their natural position on the field. Accolades were also handed out for Player of the Year, Hitter of the Year and Coach of the Year in addition to honorable mentions.

In our opening year, Carter County was well represented with a total of 19 players selected, and every school in the county had multiple athletes named to the All-Star roster.  Congratulations to those selected!
