All-Met Watch | Girls' Basketball

We had a such a strong response to our All-Met Watch during football season that we're going to make it a regular feature for girls' and boys' basketball. Here is our first preseason All-Met team -- along with the players on the bubble -- based upon the observations of reporters and feedback from area coaches. All-Mets, though, are made on the court, so each week, we will update this list based upon game results and how each player is performing over the course of the season.
