Why it matters

Individual honors scatter across seasons

All-state lists come out after each season and are posted once. Over decades, no one keeps a single list of the school’s honorees. Athletes from smaller sports are the first to be left off.

Ideas for All-State and All-American Honorees

Honorees by sport and year

List each athlete with sport, season and team level, such as first team or honorable mention.

All-conference and all-district

Include conference and district honors so more athletes are recognized.

Academic all-state

Add academic all-state selections, which reward athletes who excel in class too.

Selecting organization

Note who named the athlete, such as the state coaches association or a media outlet.

Action photos

Use a game photo from the honored season wherever you can.

Repeat honorees

Show athletes honored in several seasons in one profile, with each year listed.

Best practices

Tips to get it right.

All-State and All-American Honorees tips

  1. Add honors at season’s end

    Make adding honorees part of each season’s wrap-up so the list never falls behind.

  2. Use official team names

    Write first team, second team and honorable mention exactly as the selecting body did.

  3. Include every sport

    Check lists for golf, tennis, bowling and other sports that often get missed.

  4. Credit coaches as well as athletes

    If coaches are named coach of the year, record that alongside player honors.
