Top 5 Candidates (Defense)

As another season comes to a close we have began to break down our finalists for our end of season awards. These finalists have a variety of attributes that have helped the county shine and hopefully will be able to acheive the same success on the next level. Some have historically shown they have what it takes while we have a few newcomers that werent on our radar originally. Enjoy!
