The final 2020 rankings have been released onto the site. The 2020 class brought basketball fans throughout the state a lot of memories over the years. From Kobe Bryant (RIP) visiting Cashmere High School to watch [player_tooltip player_id="20149" first="Hailey" last="Van Lith"] play to [player_tooltip player_id="85870" first="Keeli" last="Burton-Oliver"]’s dominant run to lead Eastlake to a 4A state title in her junior season. The list goes on and on and it has been a joy to watch this group and I am even more excited to see these players move to the collegiate levels and see how they continue to grow and develop. With the final rankings comes an update to the top 5.
