Mike Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Can Nelson three-peat? Speaking of postseason awards, there’s going to be a fascinating subplot taking place in District 20-4A now that the regular season has ended. Will senior Jayce Nelson be named to the district’s first team or superlatives? The reason that would be significant is that Nelson was also honored thusly in both baseball and basketball this season, meaning he would make a clean sweep of all three sports on the first team or higher. I’ve asked multiple people over the last few weeks to see if they can remember the last boys athlete from this area who might have accomplished the feat, but no one could come up with any names. In this day and age of AAU teams and select travel squads, it’s rare indeed for a player to excel at all three sports at the same time. I may be jinxing things by even talking about it, but it appears Nelson is on the cusp of doing something pretty special as he wraps up his senior year at PN-G. If you know of anyone who might have equaled that feat in the past, please e-mail me and let me know. Researching coaching and playoff records is relatively easy compared to tracking down all-district squads, which is nigh impossible.

Guest bigred360 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hunter Gonzales of LC-M was All-District in football, basketball and baseball. Congratulation to Jayce Nelson as I'm sure he will be All-District in baseball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardAmbassador Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hunter Gonzales of LC-M was All-District in football, basketball and baseball. Congratulation to Jayce Nelson as I'm sure he will be All-District in baseball! And they will join each other on the football team next season. Was Hunter first team in all three? That's impressive if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
