Each year, with input from local coaches, The Olympian selects its All-Area boys basketball team.

 

This year, seven high schools from the Olympia area are represented by players and coaches selected to the first and second teams.

 

The 12 spots, broken down by leagues, are 2A Evergreen Conference (six), 3A South Sound Conference (four) and 4A SPSL (two).
