All-LaxRecords First Team

The 2017, and inaugural, All-LaxRecords Team is not another All-America team. Instead, this team are players who set either national, state or team records as reported to LaxRecords.com during the 2017 season.

The goal of selecting this team is to highlight some of the best performances from the 2017 season and the player’s careers. So much focus is placed on where a player is going to play in college, sometimes the players who are not big-name recruits fly under-the-radar and have stellar careers. This team celebrates those careers.
