Bo Ingram is first team All-State; Reggie Bullock is on second team (with updates)

The Associated Press All-State team will be released in two hours and it certainly has a local flavor. Kinston’s Bo Ingram is on the first team boys’ team (yes, they call it the “men’s” team at the AP), while Kinston’s Reggie Bullock is on the second team.

Congratulations to both of those players for that honor.

The coach of the year will be released tomorrow, while the player of the year will be released on Saturday. I will have both announcements here on the blog.
