LILJ Boys All-Winter League Teams

MJBROWN · January 26, 2023 · 3 min read

After wrapping up the 2022-2023 Boys High School Winter League, the LILJ has created All-Winter League Teams. With plenty of great play from players across some of the premier teams on the island, first and second teams have been put together for the classes of 2023 and 2024, as well as a first and second team combining the classes of 2025-2027. In addition to the first and second teams, honorable mention teams have been created for the 2023 and 2025-2027 classes. Even for the players that were unable to attend every game, many of them still had their fingerprints all over the field in the games that they did play in. Here are each of the teams down below!
