Notes: While Everett is a team building on last season and getting ready to make their push this season, Seattle Prep is a squad re-tooling and looking for younger players to step in and fill roles left by a talented 2022 class. Christian King Christian King 6'8" | SG Seattle Prep | 2023 State WA is a UW-bound guard/forward that has the talent to lead Prep far but in this matchup it is going to be a challenge to overcome the balanced attack of Everett.

Notes: Timberline has one of the top players in the state in Brooklyn Hicks Brooklyn Hicks 6'3" | CG Timberline | 2023 State #168 Nation WA who has the ability to single-handedly lead a team to the playoffs. However, it is going to be a tough test against a deeply talented and balanced O’Dea team who has the look of a 3A Title contender. The Irish have the ability to attack you from outside, inside, behind the arc, and slashing to the hoop. It may not turn out great for Timberline but this matchup should bring out the best in Hicks, a UNLV commit with supreme athleticism and IQ.

looking ready to dominate this season. Woodinville was on the cusp of something last year but they lose seven seniors from last season and look to re-tool in 2022-23. The Falcons have an emerging cast of players that could surprise some in the KingCo and make their own path to a state tournament appearance. Either way, this should be a good early-season test for both teams as they look to get out of the gates hot.
Dec 9 Davis @ Richland 7:30 PM
Players to Watch: Cesar Hernandez Cesar Hernandez 6'0" | PG Davis | 2025 State WA (Davis), Blake Garza Blake Garza 6'4" | SF Davis | 2024 State WA (Davis), Brandon Lee Brandon Lee 6'0" | CG Davis | 2024 State WA (Davis), Finnegan Anderson (Davis), Lucas Westerfield Lucas Westerfield 6'10" | PF Richland | 2024 State WA (Richland), Josh Woodard Josh Woodard 5'10" | PG Richland | 2024 State WA (Richland), Zaevion Gladney Zaevion Gladney 6'5" | SF Kamiakin | 2024 WA (Richland)
Notes: Davis went 19-3 last season but graduated a pair of key seniors from a year ago. That being said, the rest of the key guys are back and only entering their junior and sophomore seasons. Davis has plenty of guys to make another run to the state tournament this season and this matchup with Richland should give a good idea of how well they will fair in that quest. Richland also loses some key upperclassmen but they too had a good mix last season of older and younger players. The Bombers have a great complement of inside and outside players that should have them also in contention for a spot at the 4A tournament.
