Devin’s All State 1st Team: 1A Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As I was watching over film from the season and preparing for the AAU season, finding new names who will come to the surface and seeing old names who had big time seasons. I am going to be doing all state teams, by class. Here is the 1A class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='281968' first='Devin' last='Coppinger']</em> </strong>- Nooksack Valley HS - 2024 - Devin could very well be the top player in the entire state. She has been taking over the 1A class over the past 2 seasons, winning the state championship back to back years. She scores the ball from all 3 levels at an elite level and will see her game translate smoothly to the Division 1 level. She averaged 22.9 points per game, 7.7 rebounds per game, 3.1 assists per game, and even contributed 3.4 steals per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='928125' first='Ashlan' last='Bryant'] </em></strong>- Deer Park HS - 2027 - Ashlan took the state by storm this year as a freshman, dominating for Deer Park. She played elite defense all season, causing havoc for every team they faced being the front of Deer Park's intense zone press defense. Bryant attacks downhill better than most players in the 2027 class and is able to finish through contact in the paint. She is going to be a household name in the state throughout the next 3 seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='585032' first='Kaleo' last='Anderson']</em> </strong>- Kings HS - 2026 - Kaleo is a top overall player in the entire state, having natural talent on the basketball court. She handles the ball at an elite level and knows how to find her spots and get to the rim quickly through the defense. She's a 6'0" guard who pulls down 8.7 rebounds a game and has already reached the 1,000 points scored marker, given she averaged 22.2 points per game as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='584240' first='Ella' last='Fritts'] </strong></em>- Lynden Christian HS - 2026 - Ella was thrown into a much bigger role this season for the Lyncs, being the main ball handler and scoring option alongside [player_tooltip player_id='580777' first='Grace' last='Hintz']. Ella averaged 11.4 points per game long with 4.4 rebounds a game. She defends at a high level as well, always matching up against opposing teams best players. Fritts led the Lyncs to a 3rd place finish at state, despite not having any starters return.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Deets Parrish</strong></em> - Wapato HS - 2026 - Deets is a big time player for Wapato. She has the skills like one of the top players in the entire state, Deets attacks the ball with both hands and has a plethora of dribbling moves that creates space for herself. She can score from all 3 levels and do so at a high level but she is phenomenal at facilitating the offense and being the teams point guard. She is a Division 1 talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Other Players:</em> [player_tooltip player_id='593747' first='Lainey' last='Kimball'] ('24, Nooksack Valley), Ellie Bessonette ('25, Cashmere)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
