Girls Basketball: Vote for the 2023-2024 LebCo All-County Team!

The LebCo All-County Basketball Team voting is proudly sponsored by our friends at TJT Sports.

With another fantastic season of high school basketball having recently drawn to a close, we wanted to take some time to honor the top players from the 2023-2024 Girls Basketball season. While many noteworthy performances resulted in SIX LebCo teams making Districts, with THREE going on to States, it took a lot of work to narrow down who we should nominate to be considered as the best of the best. After consulting with each local program, we boiled it down to some great selections. However, we still need your help to choose the LebCo All-County Girls Basketball Team.

Below is a list of twenty nominees for the All-County Team. You are being asked to select your top five choices. After you have reviewed each nominee, please use the link to give your opinion in order to help us make the selections.

If you are unsure as to how each team finished the season, please see down at the bottom for a very brief recap.

Once fan voting is complete, it will be combined with voting from the coaches and the LebCoSports.com panel to determine which players were chosen for the First Team, Second Team, and Honorable Mention.

It is very important to note that while voting is involved and emotions can run high, the primary purpose is to draw attention to the hardworking athletes who competed for LebCo’s high schools this past season.

Please also note that the nominees are listed by class and then alphabetically ordered by last name. Any athlete we profiled as an Athlete of the Week during the Winter season is hyperlinked
