<p>As the high school summer play gets underway and players continue their AAU seasons, I am taking a closer look into the NWC to review some of the top players who are returning. Many of the top players are coming back, so the league is filled with talent.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='595418' first='Kalanie' last='Newcomb']</strong> - 2024 - Lynden HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kalaine had an amazing junior year, helping lead the Lions to the state tournament. She bounced back in a very big way from her injury that caused her to miss her entire sophomore campaign. She does it all for Lynden, being able to handle the ball or play off guard and hit catch and shoot threes. She plays intense defensive, which is what I think makes her standout. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='594665' first='Emmy' last='Hart'] -</strong> 2024 - Sehome HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Emmy is one of the best deep shooters in the entire conference, maybe even the state. She is not afraid to shoot it and if she gets hot, she could have the ability to sink 4 or 5 in a game. She has the most 3's made in a single game in the Sehome history, hitting 7 in a game 2 separate times.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='594666' first='Makayla' last='Heaton']</strong> - 2024 - Squalicum HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Recording a triple double is a very hard accomplishment on the court, especially at the high school level. Heaton recorded an astonishing 3 last year. She plays calm and under control, finding her open teammates or creating her own open shot. She's fun to watch and could be a very big stock riser during her senior year.</p>

<p><strong>Deja Dube</strong> - 2024 - Blaine HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Deja is a great player on the court who is expected to handle a lot for the Borderites. She scores the ball very well and rebounds down low extremely well for her position. She handles the ball effectively and dishes to her open teammates when needed. She gets down-hill to the bucket really well and is someone to watch in the 2024 class.</p>
