4A SPSL North All-League Selections

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No surprise here, the top two teams in the league, and two of the top teams in the 4A, landed seven of the eleven first and second-team selections as well as MVP. [player_tooltip player_id='1685506' first='Will' last='Nasinec'] headlines this group as Most Valuable Player of the 2025-26 season. His ascension over the course of the season was a major factor in Puyallup winning their district playoffs and playing some tough games at the state tournament. For Emerald Ridge, it was defense and front of the rotation depth that helped them finish with a fifth-place trophy at the state tournament. Seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1863250' first='Jordan' last='Bennett'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1863251' first='Jamaize' last='McGriff'] shared the Defensive Player of the Year award, and both made first-team all-league, along with teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1685502' first='Darius' last='Alexander']. Puyallup and Emerald Ridge had three of the five second-team selections, and both Curtis and Sumner players earned spots on both first and second-team all-league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What is possibly most intriguing about these teams is the lone two non-seniors earning spots. Both sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2751666' first='Jerius' last='Isabell'] and junior [player_tooltip player_id='2375388' first='Noah' last='Kaylor'] were awarded first-team honors for their strong play this season. Those two should be in line for big seasons next winter, but with so many departing seniors filling the all-league teams, it begs the question of who else will step up to take their spots in the 2026-27 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">MVP</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1685506' first='Will' last='Nasinec'], Puyallup, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Co-DPOY</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1863250' first='Jordan' last='Bennett'], Emerald Ridge, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1863251' first='Jamaize' last='McGriff'], Emerald Ridge, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">First-Team</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1863251' first='Jamaize' last='McGriff'], Emerald Ridge, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1863250' first='Jordan' last='Bennett'], Emerald Ridge, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2751666' first='Jerius' last='Isabell'], Sumner, So.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1685502' first='Darius' last='Alexander'], Emerald Ridge, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2375388' first='Noah' last='Kaylor'], Curtis, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Second-Team</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2307291' first='Mychal' last='Turner'], Emerald Ridge, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1863244' first='Mason' last='Sonntag'], Puyallup, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2021613' first='Goose' last='Frederick'], Sumner, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2375350' first='Lawson' last='Looker'], Puyallup, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2384345' first='William' last='Torrone'], Curtis, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
