The Longview News-Journal ETVarsity Best Preps Nominations

The ETVarsity Best Preps, presented by Peters Chevrolet, is an awards program for outstanding high school student athletes based not only on their athletic performance but also their GPA and their volunteerism and community involvement. Each Best Preps student has been nominated by their coach and has maintained at least a 3.0 GPA this year and has at least 10 hours of volunteerism this year.
