Aledo, Weatherford garner THSCA accolades

Athletes in Aledo and Weatherford garnered 40 academic all-state honors for fall sports from the Texas High School Coaches Association.

To be nominated for academic all-state, a student must be:

• An athlete, student trainer or manager in good standing with the team.
• Of good moral character.
• A senior.
• Have an overall grade point average of 92 or above (including courses from grades 9-11 and courses completed from grade 12). Weighted GPAs are accepted.

When reviewing the nominations, the THSCA considers each student’s GPA, class rank, SAT and/or ACT score. The students receive points based on each criteria. The total number of points they receive determines which team they are placed on. The best team a player can make is the elite team, which requires a near perfect score in all categories. After elite, players are placed on first, second and honorable mention teams.

Three area athletes earned elite status: Aledo football player Cole Crawford, Weatherford football player, and Weatherford cross country runner Tate Nobis.

The program with the most honorees is Aledo football, which had 14 players receive accolades. Weatherford team tennis had eight players awarded and Aledo volleyball had seven.
