How the rest of the East Bay Athletic League and then North Coast Section softball season plays out remains to be seen, but there is one thing for sure. Whenever the Foothill High season ends this month, it will end the illustrious careers of seniors Kaycie and Sophia Burdick. When the two leave Foothill (Kaycie to play softball at the University of Washington and Sophia to play softball at San Jose State), there will be a massive void to fill.

The postseason has begun for the East Bay Athletic League, with the EBAL Swimming and Diving Championships taking center stage last weekend at Dougherty Valley.

Just last week I wrote about how deep and talented the boys’ volleyball league is this season — and then the teams went out and proved it, throwing the league into some chaos heading into Tuesday night’s final match of the regular season. De La Salle and Foothill were tied with the best record in East Bay Athletic League play at 8-2. Amador Valley and San Ramon Valley both sat at 7-3, with Dublin looming at 6-4.
