Very Early Preview: Who will win the 2A State Title

<!-- 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 2A state title. Vote below on who you think!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Lynden </em></strong>- Last year state champions</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With having 2 players in the top 10 in their respective classes in [player_tooltip player_id='676258' first='Finley' last='Parcher'] and Peyton Mills, the Lions will once again be a favorite in the 2A class. They have length and underclassman who are ready to show they are ready for the big stage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Ellensburg</strong></em> - Last year runner-up</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ellensburg will see a lot of talent leave the team but with [player_tooltip player_id='928120' first='Bella' last='Standish'] and other key players coming back, they will still contend with the top teams. They always have endless amounts of talent within the program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Deer Park </em></strong>- 3rd place</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Deer Park is losing a few key pieces, including Brooklyn Coe, but they do have [player_tooltip player_id='663650' first='Emma' last='Bryant'] and [player_tooltip player_id='928125' first='Ashlan' last='Bryant'] coming back. They are a dynamic duo who knows how to score and facilitate the offense each to a high level. Berlyn Zimmerer is another key player to this team, adding shooting on the outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Prosser</em></strong> - 5th place</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prosser is really going to be a team to watch in my eyes, with [player_tooltip player_id='928852' first='Herbie' last='Wright'] being a big rising prospect in the state. [player_tooltip player_id='928021' first='Deidra' last='Phillips'] is a soon to be senior who could build off last season and have a big season for her squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Archbishop-Murphy</strong></em> - 4th place</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite losing a few seniors, Ava Marr being one, the Wildcats will still be one of the top teams in the 2A class. [player_tooltip player_id='515021' first='Brooke' last='Blachly'] is one of the best pure shooters in the state and will be ready to shine next season for her team. Kayla Hoofkin is another player to keep an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
