NWC All-League Selections

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Northwest Conference gave us five state tournament teams this winter, and one state champion. Lynden Christian, the only team in the conference with two first-team players, ended the year as the best team in the 1A. Led by juniors [player_tooltip player_id='2739562' first='Gunnar' last='Dykstra'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2392727' first='Dawson' last='Hintz'] on the first team, and also represented by [player_tooltip player_id='2457277' first='Kaden' last='Veldman'] on the second team, the Lyncs were one of two teams in the conference to warrant three all-league selections. The other team with three all-leaguers is Anacortes. First-teamer [player_tooltip player_id='2380114' first='Micah' last='Dickison'] was among the top scorers in the region, and juniors [player_tooltip player_id='2844985' first='Lucas' last='Roberts'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2844981' first='Spencer' last='Roberts'] both played key roles on a team that finished third at the 2A state tournament. After Lynden Christian and Anacortes, you have Lynden, Sedro-Woolley, Sehome, and Burlington-Edison with multiple selections.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was an incredibly senior-heavy result. Eight of the ten first-team players are seniors, while six of the ten second-team selections are seniors. The other six selections are all juniors. One thing is certain: these teams will look a lot different next season. Another certainty? Lynden Christian, with three of those six juniors selected, will likely hold their spot near the top of the 1A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">MVP</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2457283' first='Ethan' last='DeJong'], Sedro-Woolley, 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='2729681' first='Spencer' last='Adams'], Lynden, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2380114' first='Micah' last='Dickison'], Anacortes, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2739562' first='Gunnar' last='Dykstra'], Lynden Christian, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2622822' first='Caleb' last='Greenland'], Lakewood, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2827903' first='Joe' last='Harward'], Bellingham, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2205052' first='Logan' last='Heigert'], Burlington-Edison, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2392727' first='Dawson' last='Hintz'], Lynden Christian, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Xavier Kelley</strong>, Sehome, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Xavier Ochoa</strong>, Oak Harbor, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Second-Team</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2835618' first='Blake' last='Elston'], Squalicum, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3192027' first='Taran' last='Hanjrah'], Mount Vernon, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2464769' first='Ty' last='Jorgenson'], Lynden, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2844985' first='Lucas' last='Roberts'], Anacortes, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2844981' first='Spencer' last='Roberts'], Anacortes, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2021622' first='Mantaj' last='Singh'], Ferndale, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cliff Tadema</strong>, Sedro-Woolley, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2457277' first='Kaden' last='Veldman'], Lynden Christian, Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2021649' first='Madden' last='Whitlock'], Burlington-Edison, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1685499' first='Nolan' last='Wright'], Sehome, Sr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
