Way too early class 2A pre-season rankings – Top players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ellensburg's run of two straight undefeated state 2A titles was ended last season. Lynden knocked off the Bulldogs for their only loss in 3 years. Could Ellensburg start a new streak? They have the talent to make it happen. There are several 2A schools who could have a say in that. Here's my Pre-season class 2A rankings. Deer Park may be the most intriguing team, moving up a classification and adding [player_tooltip player_id='580528' first='Jacey' last='Boesel'] from Okanogan to the roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Ellensburg</strong> - Experienced, talented and loaded - point guard [player_tooltip player_id='375545' first='Jamison' last='Philip'] was 1st team all tournament a year ago and might be top point guard in 2A. Sr. [player_tooltip player_id='592524' first='Layne' last='Rogel'], Sr. [player_tooltip player_id='592523' first='Alana' last='Marrs'], and So. [player_tooltip player_id='928120' first='Bella' last='Standish'] all return. Could end up being 3rd spotless record in the past four years for Ellensburg</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Prosser</strong> - 3rd place finish in class 2A last year. Plenty of experience and talent returns. Led by 2nd team all 2A state ttournament selection Sr. F - [player_tooltip player_id='590249' first='Lay'lee' last='Dixon'], So - F - [player_tooltip player_id='928852' first='Herbie' last='Wright'] and Sr. G - [player_tooltip player_id='591484' first='Adriana' last='Milanez'] makes Prosser a safe bet to make a deep run once again in the 2025 season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Lynden</strong> - Last year's state champion handed Ellensburg it's first loss in 3 years in the title game.

Will need players to step up in the backcourt where they lost a lot to graduation.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>W.F. West</strong> - 6'3" - Sr. [player_tooltip player_id='584642' first='Julie' last='Dalan'] and Sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='751208' first='Dilyn' last='Boeck'] are a lethal inside out duo. So.G - [player_tooltip player_id='730365' first='Joy' last='Cushman'] returns and Tumwater transfer-. Jr. G [player_tooltip player_id='663643' first='Rhylee' last='Beebe'] boosts the backcourt with more talent.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Deer Park</strong> - Moving up from class 1A next season.

Sr. G-- [player_tooltip player_id='659454' first='Brooklyn' last='Coe']. wae already one of the most talented trios in 2A. They added [player_tooltip player_id='580528' first='Jacey' last='Boesel'], a top guard in class 2B the last two seasons. Lost to Nooksack Valley in the state title game last season their way to a class 1A 2nd place trophy.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Archbishop Murphy </strong>- Sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='515021' first='Brooke' last='Blachly'] is among the best shooters in the state.
