(June 21, 2013) - For the first time this year Cheers Sports and Viva Loudoun teamed up to pick an All Loudoun team for every varsity sport played in the 13 public high schools in Loudoun County. The competition was fierce to make the teams so we wanted the fans input to honor those athletes that just missed the All Loudoun cut or those that showed team spirit and hard work that often gets overlooked when it comes to honors.

After voting that saw more than 300 nominations, here are the "Fan Favorites" for Spring 2013. Athletes selected will be invited to a photo shoot this Sunday, June 23 at 12:45 p.m. at Replay Sports in Ashburn. RSVP and full details here.

James Moreno (JR) Loudoun County
What the fans are saying: "He was the MVP of the County squad. His creativity and determination created so many chances. If he and a few of his teammates had stayed healthy toward the end of the season, LC could have made a deep playoff run.

What the fans are saying: "Best defensive player in the Dulles District. First D-1 scholarship boys lacrosse player from Woodgrove. Male Athlete of the Year from Woodgrove. Overcame (second!) broken leg of HS career to help put his team into regional playoff. Totally shut down Battlefield's Player of the Year attackman ... Came back from broken leg to have great lacrosse season ... Despite missing majority of the season due to a broken leg, he returned a smarter player and helped turn their season around."

Austin Corbo (SR) Broad Run
What the fans are saying: First team All District and first team All Region ... team captain."

Michael Hochstein (SO) Loudoun County

Lauren LeFebvre (SR) Briar Woods
What the fans are saying: "Lauren first tried lacrosse her freshman year and excelled immediately. She consistently displays a positive attitude and is always there to pick up teammate/friend when they need it most. Lauren is one of the most kind hearted people I have ever come in contact with and I can not wait to see what she accomplishes next year as she continues to play lacrosse at North Carolina Wesleyan! ... I only had the privilege to play with Lauren on a club team but she is one of the best teammates I have ever had. She always supported me and rest of the team and keeps up good sportsmanship no matter the score or situation.

Girls Track and Field
Kate Haberlin (FR) Stone Bridge
What the fans are saying: "Kate was an eye-opening athlete this year. She came out as freshman and blew everyone away. She placed in every event she did and was our MVP. She qualified for New Balance Nationals and did exceptionally well. Everyone was cheering her on and I'd kee a look out for her in the future."

Jada McFadden (SO) Stone Bridge
What the fans are saying: "Jada is an extremely dedicated individual, always gives her all both in practice and at competitions.

Jada is truly a model athlete!"

Jordan Nielsen (SR) Stone Bridge

Carrie Keevey (JR) Briar Woods
What the fans are saying: "Carrie epitomizes everything that is good about high school sports. A tough-nosed competitor, Carrie also loves her teammates and the game itself, and plays with both intensity and joy. A member of the varsity since her freshman year, when the Falcons won States, Carrie was a designated fielder at third base for all of her sophomore year and part of this season. When Coach Starke put her into the line-up to hit, Carrie demonstrated his faith in her was not unwarranted: as flawless as she was in the field, Carrie was a clutch hitter at the plate, delivering several key hits for the Falcons, including a superbly executed suicide squeeze that ended up as a key sacrifice. A serious student, this young lady is a winner through and through, from her nose-on swing to her error-free hot corner mastery to the brightest smile in Ashburn."

Kamille Larrabee (JR) Broad Run
What the fans are saying: "Led BR in on-base percentage, runs scored, walks, hbp ... as a catcher had two steals against all season. She batted .429 ... awesome leader, teammate, second team Cedar Run catcher ... Always overlooked. She led Broad Run defensively and offensively. Batted in 2 spot and had most runs scored and highest on base percentage for season. Second highest average behind Miller. Caught and called every pitch ... Great player. Awarded second team Cedar Run but should ave been first team. Positive teammate and leader; great kid ... She is a great leader, role model, athlete, student. Going to play at Bucknell and is an amazing person and player ... Best catcher in the area! Deserves to be recognized ... Great catcher, great player ... Awesome catcher! ... Great work ethic! Did a great job behind the plate! ... Great player, great role model .. Great catcher and team leader defensively and led many offensive categories for team. Great person ... absolutely deserves to be selected; team leader and great player ... Picked off 10 batters and only two steals against all year."

Maria Latimer (SR) Tuscarora
What the fans are saying: "All around player ... very determined and carries the team. Great leader who never gives up and will be missed next year. She is also very supportive and helpful."

Olivia Tatara (SR) Stone Bridge
What the fans are saying: "Always took control of the game plus she is a great hitter ... Solid behind the plate with laser-like throwing arm. Awesome job catching/blocking/.framing for the Liberty District Pitcher of the Year and AAA Northern Region tournament MVP, Kelly McDaniel ... She is one of the best catchers in the State and she hit really well, too! ... Olivia is the best catcher any team could ask for. She is a team leader both on and off the field. She is also very supportive and encouraging of everyone, especially pitchers. Although she isn't often recognized for her hard work and success because she is hidden behind the plate, she has played a crucial role as the Stone Bridge catcher for the past two years. She is a wall back there and I could probably count on one hand the number of passed balls that occurred this year. She is also nearly impossible to steal on, so very few runners even attempt to steal and the ones that do are thrown out. She is also a very solid hitter and hit a bomb during the regional playoffs. Any pitcher would be lucky to have Olivia as her catcher ... She is a positive team leader, role model and great player! ... Olivia is the best catcher in Loudoun hands down. I can probably count o one hand the number of bases stolen against her on varsity. Not only can we rely on her to be a brick wall and an outstanding hitter, but she also acts as one of the best leaders and motivators on the team ... She is the best catcher in the county! Plus she caught for Kelly McDaniel the best pitcher in the county. Those two together are as good as it gets, truly a dynamic duo."

Connor Gaines (SO) Briar Woods
What the fans are saying: "Gaines is an extremely talented "two guard". While his size may limit him rebounding in the paint, he is truly a 4-tool guard averaging over 10 points a game while dishing out assists all over the court.

Teal is a good all around athletic who loves the game and respect other players. She is dedicated to hard work and wants to win. She would be a great candidate for the All Loudoun team .... Teal has overcome great hardships throughout her high school career ... She is a 3-year letter winner and is on pace to be our school's leading scorer. She missed out on all district because of the strong players in our district and the larger number of teams ... Teal performed consistently well for her team by scoring, rebounding, and stealing at a very high clip ... she's the starting point guard and does everything to help them win."

Taylor Tibbits (JR) Loudoun County

Erica is a great competitor and athlete, but most importantly, a great person and student!"

Brooke Wivagg (JR) Briar Woods**
What the fans are saying: "Brooke battled back from three stress fractures in her back to help lead the Falcons to their best season ever. She competed in the All Around at ever meet except for one, finished in the top 15 in the County in all events, had a fantastic showing at the State Qualifier and competed at the State meet in two events ... Brooke is the co-captain of the Falcons as a junior, earned the Coaches Award for her accomplishments and attitude this season ... she is a great, wonderful, talented person and is a great captain for the Briar Woods gymnastics team! ... I think Brooke my sister should be picked because she is always positive and always tries the best. She encouraged me to tryout for the gymnastics team although I couldn't compete this year because of a broken elbow. She always helped make sure I was included in everything the team did. She was a great captain, she supported all the gymnasts and made the season fun. Most importantly we could always count on her to turn in a great score ... She is a very dedicated athlete and student who is a positive role model for underclassmen ..  She showed positive team leadership as a captain this season ... I managed the Briar Woods gymnastics team this season and I know Brooke is a great team player and leader. The younger girls always came to her for advice on their routines or technique. She was always a very positive role model and showed that not even winning is more important than good sportsmanship and a good attitude. She even took a huge spill off the beam at one meet and finished the routine with a huge smile on her face, while most people would have given up. The team picked her as one of the captains, so they obviously see her as a leader and value her opinion ... She should be chosen as a fan favorite because of her determination and ability to motivate and pick people p when they might have had an off day ... I've been on Brooke's club gymnastics team for five years and she was almost always one of the reasons I came to practice. She always had a really positive attitude and never failed to cheer you up. Brooke is one of those people that makes you believe that you can do it no matter what. Her favorite saying was 'you're not going to die. And if you do, you'll never have to do it again' ... I went to the Districts meet and thought Brooke gave an amazing performance. She stood out as a great leader and captain with a positive attitude, cheering on all her teammates during the meet and posing as a wonderful role model .. She is a great leader and consistent performer and all around just a great person! ... She is very positive and a hard working leader. She is always there to encourage you and help you. She has been a role model for our team ... I did competitive gymnastics with Brooke and she is an amazing teammate and a very talented gymnast. She is so encouraging and always pushed me to do my best! ... She was very helpful, enthusiastic and a great teammate ... As captain she has led her team in events and brought out the fun and excitement of gymnastics in practices and competitions. Brooke's dedication to her teammates and willingness to choreograph and help them to improve their skills are what allowed the Falcons to have their best season yet. Brooke has also shown that with hard work and dedication you can overcome injury or obstacle and still succeed ... She was always smiling and showed great sportsmanship toward her own team as well as athletes on other teams ... Brooke IS Briar Woods gymnastics. She may not have the top scores, but she is consistent and the most supportive, enthusiastic teammate! My 6-year-old made us go to the Briar Woods meets just to watch Brooke! She's ALL heart and dedication!"

She is graduating a year early from high school and has committed to play volleyball at Babson College! She is the only volleyball player from Woodgrove to go on to play in college. She is a very hardworking and determined girl, on and off the court. I can't think of anyone that deserves the award for their accomplishments more that Kristen!."
