Islanders earn All-State nods

July 9th, 2010 at Fri, 9th, 2010 at 10:53 am by Megan Managan

Mercer Island boys soccer player Matt Johnson earned an honorable mention as a defender for the All-State boys 3A soccer team. The list of list of players is voted on by sports writers from around the state and compiled by the Tri-City Herald.

Islander baseball player Willy Reel was also given the honor, named to the All-State first team in baseball.

If you know of anyone else who was named to the list (these two are the only from Mercer Island I found) or has received any other awards please feel free to let me know via email at mmanagan@mi-reporter.com.

I’m the sports reporter at the Mercer Island Reporter newspaper. On this blog you’ll find extra bits and pieces to stories I’ve written, behind the scene looks at teams and observations on the sports in our area. I’ll field questions here, and ask a few too. You can follow me on Twitter (@MIRsports ) or send me an e-mail.
