WJG SPORTS 2019 ALL-WJG FOOTBALL TEAMS

Before we reveal the All-WJG Football Team, we want to take a moment and thank you for all the support you have given to us, our YouTube, our podcast and website. Without you, this isn’t possible. We want to thank all the coaches for sending in their nominations. We want to thank all the players for representing their school and community with class on and off the field. This was very difficult process. We worked for almost two months trying to put this list together, but we feel it’s acceptable in its current format. To all the players that feel snubbed, sorry, but there were only 80 spots and only 40 spots on All-WJG. We only put players on this list that were nominated by their head coach. Using the close to 150 nominations, we narrowed it down and picked using a combination of team success and personal achievements. This is our first All-Area team and we hope to continue doing this. The All-WJG team is like All-American, while the All-County teams are like All-Conference. We hope to one day present awards in the names of players we covered or other NFL legends from the community. Our goal is to be able to give trophies and plaques to each award winner one day (if you are a business and interested in helping us achieve this, you can contact us at wjgsports@gmail.com). Every dollar we have made in the last six months has went right back into covering and providing local sports content, if you would like to help us to continue covering the community through monetary donation or with an advertisement partnership, you can PayPal us (paypal.me/WJGSports) or contact us using the aforementioned email to ApplePay, CashApp or to set a partnership up. With all that being said, here is the WJG Sports All-WJG Football Teams.
