All-Manzanita League teams announced
With the 2018 Manzanita League season in the books it’s time to reflect on the year that was.
A time-honored way of doing so is with the selection of All-League teams.
In the Manzanita League — as was done for many years in the Imperial Valley League — selections are made individually by head coaches of member schools, who each fill a number of firstteam slots based on where their squad finished in the standings.
The league title-winner is allotted seven first-team spots, the runner-up, six; third-place, five; and fourth-place, four.
Below are listed the All-Manzanita League first and second-team selections for 2018
