Wayne's Bobby Dierna and Vinnie DiGravio
have been named to the Daily Messenger All-League first-team all-stars for the 2008 winter sports season. 

The all-star teams, comprised of athletes from all the Finger Lakes Leagues, were chosen by our sports staff on the basis of three important factors - first-hand observation, statistical achievements and recommendation from coaches. Features on the teams will begin running in our paper later in April, and we hope they will add to what has been an exciting season for all athletes.
