They also have an all state caliber guard back in [player_tooltip player_id='1417278' first='Coston' last='Parcher'].

He's a great scoring stretch 3 type with a lot of range and a smooth stroke from down town. He is really effective at either getting all the way to the hole or pulling up for a mid-range jumper. The jumper is effective because he is tall enough to shoot over people, has a soft touch, and can get himself into it with a couple quick dribbles. He is good enough with the ball in his hands to make a move behind his back and get into either of those. He can get his points inside and out. His length allows him to play bigger than he is. The unlimited range is a major weapon for a player his size, and he can keep you honest using the dribble.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1417278"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cpu003eI think he's the best point guard in district 1.

He does this using a change of pace dribble, along with the ability to pull up and knock down shots off the dribble. He's effective at finishing with either hand. His shot is pure with range.

Blachly put up good scoring and rebounding numbers last season and Usui is full of potential and only a sophomore. Burlington Edison should be in the mix as well with [player_tooltip player_id='1440573' first='Blaine' last='Granberg'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1479234' first='Bennett' last='Howe'] being players to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

You will find your defending state champion in this district. I see two teams here that have a chance to win it all this year. ,There are a couple others who will be looking for a deep run in Yakima as well. Starting with the defending champion.
