Call 2013 the year of the teammates in DODDS-Europe basketball.

Five sets of teammates account for all 10 spots on the All-Europe girls basketball first team, selected by a committee chaired by DODDS-Europe athletic director Karen Seadore and announced Wednesday.

The announcement provides a fitting end to a season marked by competitive parity in each division and an absence of transcendent talents.

The girls first team includes pairs from Division I champion Kaiserslautern and Division II champion Bitburg along with final-four finishers Ansbach, Lakenheath and Wiesbaden.

The boys first team follows that pattern, with two members apiece from Division I champion Patch and Division II champion AFNORTH.

Underclassmen are well-represented on the teams as seniors account for just 19 of the 40 combined girls and boys selections. The girls first team saw five juniors and a sophomore selected alongside four seniors.

Small schools also received ample recognition, with Division III Bamberg netting a combined three selections and Menwith Hill placing a player on each second team. Divisions II and III produced a combined 24 of the All-Europe players.

Kaiserslautern enjoyed a Europe-high five selections, followed by Wiesbaden’s four.

Here are the full teams:
