<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we head into August and are getting ready for the upcoming showcases here in the state of Washington, I wanted to take a early look to see who could win the 1A state title. Vote below on who you think!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Bellevue Christian</strong></em> - Last year state champion</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='928029' first='Kiana' last='Skogstad'] and Lili Meissner both played big roles in them claiming the state championship and with them both returning, along with other key players, they will be a favorite. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Kings</em></strong> - Last year runner-up</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With only 2 seniors on the roster last year, Kings will once again be in the mix to claim the state title. [player_tooltip player_id='585032' first='Kaleo' last='Anderson'] is a top player in the entire state and wants to finish her HS career off with a state champ and she has the ability to take her team the whole way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Lynden Christian </strong></em>- 3rd place</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LC will be losing some of their key players but they have young talent who will be able to fill in and fill the gaps for the squad. [player_tooltip player_id='584240' first='Ella' last='Fritts'] and Taya Dykstra will be a top duo in the 1A class next season with their abilities to each score in unique ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Annie Wright</em></strong> - 5th place</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='663665' first='Aaliyeh' last='Martin'] will be back and she is poised for a big season. She has many smooth ways to score the ball. She has many talented players around her too, which is key to their performances and finish towards the end of next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Zillah</em></strong> - 4th place</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With only 1 senior graduating, the majority of their top players will be back. The are a fiery, quick team who know how to build off energy and play off each other at a high level. [player_tooltip player_id='751223' first='Makenna' last='Klitzke'] is a big time talent and proved it last year during the state tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://poll.fm/15832993","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"crowdsignal","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-crowdsignal wp-block-embed-crowdsignal"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://poll.fm/15832993 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
