The LINK nky Team of the Week for September 28-October 4 presented by Ortho Cincy is the Campbell County boys soccer team.
A bonus for the Campbell County boys soccer team is that they are now eligible for Team of the Season (TOS) for the fall sports season. They join the Holy Cross football team, Walton-Verona football team, Newport Central Catholic girls soccer team, Villa Madonna volleyball team, Ludlow girls soccer team and Beechwood girls soccer team as the first seven award winners for the season. The weekly nominations and winners for fall will run in to November. A vote will follow for TOS when the fall sports season is wrapped up to determine the winner. The winner for TOS will then be one of three nominees for Team of the Year voting in June. Each TOS winner will receive a $500 scholarship that will go to an athlete of their choice and they will then be up for Team of the Year (TOY).
For the team that is awarded TOY, online and print articles will again be published, a large commemorative plaque will be presented and the school will receive an additional $500 scholarship to be presented to the athlete of their choice at the end of the school year. The call for nominations, voting and winning announcement for each will follow the same format as the TOTW.
