Rise Magazine on the 2007-2008 Teams of the Year: http://www.risemag.com/main.cfm?actionId=globalShowStaticContent&screenKey=magArticle&categoryKey=recognize
Since we're a retrospective blog, sometimes we like to look in the rear-view. With Rise Magazine, we can't argue with the few sporadic teams that were honored, though there are some heavy omissions.
Basically when picking, you have three options. One, pick the team from the Virginia public school that won the state championship, as they did with Westfield (football), Fairfax (girls swimming) and Robinson (boys swimming). Or you could pick the undefeated private school team that won its league and the largely hypocritical private school state tournament as Rise did with St. Stephen's & St. Agnes (field hockey). Or you can pick the Maryland state champs like Reservoir (girls volleyball) and Paint Branch (girls basketball).
Can you have two girls basketball teams of the year? Impossible.
The real question is which team was the Best of the Year? Gonzaga anyone?
