1st Team - Amber Aguilar
So Los Banos High School
.447 AVG, 2 2B, 2 3B, 10 RBI, 5SB
Coach Janzer: "I have only seen a few players with the athletic ability that Amber has! She had a great offensive year, but might have been even more impressive in the outfield. She saved us several runs by cutting balls off and covering ground out there. Amber had a fantastic season!"

.619 AVG, 7 RBI, 8 BB, 5 SB
Coach Keener: "I'm so proud of Bella this season for many reasons. She jumped in the lineup and ran with the opportunity. She has so many strengths. Offensively she gets deep into counts and isn't afraid to hit with two strikes; but her biggest strength is her dugout presence which was infectious this year!"
2nd Team - Fran Sanchez
So. Roosevelt High School

Coach Janzer: "Fran was the heart and soul of this program this year. Her teammates looked to her for guidance and strength and she rose to the occasion every time.
