<p>The Wesco 4A had two players share the MVP award this season, and the fact that a senior and a sophomore shared the honor highlights the league's blend of talent. Riechelson is one of nine sophomores receiving honors. Add those nine sophomores to the four freshmen and seven juniors named as all-league and honorable mention, and that is 20 of 28 spots claimed by underclassmen.</p>

<p>The other Co-MVP, Lake Stevens senior [player_tooltip player_id='666162' first='Keira' last='Tupua'], was the leader of the only Wesco team to make the 4A state tournament. She is as dynamic as she is tough, and her commitment to play soccer and compete in track and field at Central Washington University is proof of just the kind of athlete she is.</p>

<p>Getting back to the youth movement represented by these selections, the Wesco 4A has a ton of talent coming up, especially in those 2028 and 2029 classes. In addition to Reichelson, [player_tooltip player_id='1308478' first='Camille' last='Phaysith'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1279170' first='Annika' last='Hastings'] are two prime examples from each class of the up-and-coming talent, each earning first-team honors as critical members of their respective teams.</p>
