Awards and Honors in Section Five
There are awards and honors for almost everything during and at the end of the season. Our database has over 7,000 records for over 2,300 athletes. On the numerous awards pages, you can see the data in many ways which can be accessed from the menu above or below.
The data only includes sectional and national awards. Team awards or off-season honors are included on player pages.
The various leagues hand out their awards at the end of the season. The rules for selection and number of awards are determined by each league. We have collected data since 2004. This report lists all awards by year and is available here.
The "By Player" report lists all players who have received awards. Because it is a very large report, it is broken down by last name. The reports start here.
USA Lacrosse has sponsored their All American awards since 1971. They determined the number of players for each region on the country and the formula has changed several times over the years. In 1993 they added the "Academic All American" awards. The requirements have changed many times over the years and the name has been changed to "All-Academic". The list of all our award winners is here.
In 2011, an All-Section Five list was established to recognize "The Best of the Best" at the end of the season. The program was discontinued in 2017 but was reinstituted in 2019. The lists are available here.
In 2003, All Tournament Teams were established to recognize best performances during the various sectional tournaments. The number in each position changes slightly from year to year, but there are generally ten players and a Most Valuable Player in each class tournament. The lists are available here.
In 2017, the New York State Sportswriters Association started to publish All-State teams. There were no selections in 2020 or 2021. The lists of Section V players on the teams are available here.
