Another season of San Joaquin Athletic Association basketball and soccer has come and gone which means accolades are rolling in for standout athletes from the league.

The SJAA released its All-League basketball and soccer teams featuring some of the top hoopers and strikers from the Sac-Joaquin Section. The last standing SJAA team still competing across the two sports is Weston Ranch boys basketball. The Cougars have advanced to the SJS Division 1 quarterfinals and will defend homecourt against Inderkum on Feb. 16.

While they look to represent the SJAA in the playoffs, the remaining teams can relish in their year-end awards after a season filled with highs and lows. Here are the 2023-24 SJAA All-League accolades for basketball and soccer.
