We're starting work on the Winter All-Stars and Spring Sports Preview, but we'll certainly try to keep this site as a place worth checking out until the spring games begin. Final top 25s and some other stuff will be posted later.

The official "Gazette All-Stars" are only taken from our 13 girls teams (Amherst, Belchertown, Easthampton, Frontier, Gateway, Granby, Hampshire, Holyoke Catholic, Hopkins, Northampton, Smith Academy, Smith Voke, South Hadley), but for the fourth year, I've put together five-player all-western Mass. teams as well as all-county ones for each county and ones for each Division, western Mass.-wide. Obviously, I can only go by what I've seen and by the opinions of coaches I've spoken with.

I'll be interested to hear any reactions. They can be emailed to jpignatiello@gazettenet.com.
