HOW THEY WERE SELECTED
The Star Tribune's all-metro teams and Metro Player of the Year were chosen based on nominations from metro-area coaches, conversations with coaches and staff observations. Players were chosen largely based on their body of work this season. Reputation and college potential were considered but not prioritized.
