With Danny Friend leading the way for this year's Morris Daily Herald All-Area team, the rest of the squad has filled out nicely. The way things are configured, there are 47 kids named this year. Some will be asked to play both ways, but with the depth the area teams have provided, that's not likely.

Morris leads the way with 18 picks and, considering that the Redskins made it all the way to the Class 5A title game, it's warranted. Coal City, the area's other playoff team, has 12 selections, Minooka, an 8A school, has 11, and 5-4 Seneca has five.
