EBAL Fall All-League teams

The East Bay Athletic League winter sports are all underway, with the Fall season, except for the CIF State Football Bowl games, in the rearview mirror!

That leaves it as the time to share the All-EBAL teams by sport. There is no standard set process for selection of the teams, with each sport setting their own procedures.

Here are the selections by sport, with all the lists coming from the EBAL website. Enjoy!
