Over 80 high school athletes from 10 winter sports teams will be profiled in the Providence Journal's All-States sports section.

The special All-States section will be published Friday in the newspaper and by 6 p.m. tonight online.

The announcement of the Journal's All-State selections has been a Rhode Island tradition since 1945.

And since the early 1990s, the Journal has recognized one boys and one girls sportsmanship team at the end of each season based on the recommendations of competing coaches and officials.
