<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the PrepHoops Washington team has just completed the rankings update for the all classes. Here I will be taking a deeper look into all the rankings to see who the top players are within the Northwest Conference. Now I will continue with the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>2026 CLASS:</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#48 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2457283' first='Ethan' last='DeJong']</strong> - Sedro Woolley HS -</em> Ethan is a high flying wing who makes a ton of highlight plays. He throws down big time dunks and has a quick first step off the wing with solid speed as he drives down the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#54 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1685499' first='Nolan' last='Wright']</strong> - Sehome HS -</em> Nolan is one of the best ball handlers in the entire conference and really has a knock down mid-range shot. He gets to his spots extremely effectively and can get his shot off through tight defense as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#73 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2205052' first='Logan' last='Heigert']</strong> - Burlington-Edison HS -</em> Logan has great length and size, being a top 2 way player in the conference. He plays elite defense, blocking shots at a high rate and pulling down a ton of rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#74 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021650' first='Malachi' last='Bowman']</strong> - Lynden HS -</em> Malachi is going to step into a bigger role for the Lions and is ready for the opportunity. Bowman is quick on the court and has solid athleticism. He is a valuable asset to any team he's on given his versatility on both sides of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#81 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2380114' first='Micah' last='Dickison']</strong> - Anacortes HS -</em> Micah has great defense and utilizes his length to his advantage. With Davis Fogle leaving, he is going to have a bigger role on offense and is poised to thrive. He finishes around the rim at an elite level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#84 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021622' first='Mantaj' last='Singh'] </strong>- Ferndale HS -</em> Mantaj is a big lefty wing who can play the guard position if needed. He plays under control and patience as he isn't in any rush with the ball in his hands. He makes big plays on both sides of the ball but is a unique, special talent on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#85 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2464769' first='Ty' last='Jorgenson']</strong> - Lynden HS -</em> Ty will also step into a bigger role for the Lions and will be a huge asset for the team. He finishes through traffic and is strong in the paint. He does a great job at sealing opponents and getting himself open, he can hit the deep shot too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>#125 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021640' first='Zack' last='Watt']</strong> - Squalicum HS -</em> Zack is going to be a big part of the Storm's offense, being able to play the guard position or the post. He is quick with the ball in his hands and has been improving his deep shot. After he can consistently hit catch and shoot three's, he'll be very deadly on the wing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
