With baseball and softball heading into the East Bay Athletic League playoffs, we are now fully into the spring postseason.
North Coast Section boys volleyball will crown a champion this week and it is a lock that it will be an EBAL team as the four semifinalists are all from the league.
Foothill is the top seed and disposed of James Logan in their first match and will now play host to Granada in one semifinal. The No. 5 Mats beat Clayton Valley and Castro Valley to advance to one semi.
On the other half of the bracket sits No. 2 Dublin who will play host to No. 3 Amador Valley, also on Tuesday night. Amador powered through Deer Valley in one semifinal, with Dublin thumping American.
In the D-II tournament, De La Salle, the No. 4 seed, advanced to one semifinal where they will travel to play No. 1 Campolindo. The Spartans beat Benicia and Arroyo to advance to the semifinals.
The EBAL baseball playoffs, which take the top three teams in each division, take place this week.
De La Salle and Amador Valley get first-round byes by virtue of finishing on the top of the Mountain and Valley divisions. Foothill will travel to San Ramon Valley in one game Tuesday, with California making the trip to Granada in the other.
On the softball side, there are only the top two teams in each division. Amador Valley will be at California, with Granada hosting San Ramon Valley.
NCS baseball and softball each begin next week.
