Now that I have spent the last two weeks taking a glance at 30 teams in and around The Lansdale Reporter's coverage area I am ready to unveil my 2013 PIAA High School Football All-Area Preseason Team.

Players from this all-area team are from schools  I wrote a Two-a-Day for, CB South and St. Joes Prep are not included here.

This in an unofficial team, based solely on one sportswriter's opinion.
