Who Will Be 2A Champs in 2026-27?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a very tight race at the top for 2A all of the 2025-26 season but when things settled in Pendleton, it was Trinity Lutheran sitting up on top. There will be a new titleholder this year though as reclassification sees the Saints move up to 3A. Portland Christian has been knocking on the door the past few seasons and they once again appear to be the class of the new Metro East League - can point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2132791' first='Keylon' last='Kittleson'] help the Royals make that final step up? East Linn Christian, Oakland, and Western Christian are all back from last year's state tournament as well. East Linn Christian and Oakland both have key returnees while Western Christian is, well quite frankly put, Western Christian - they're always going to be in the mix.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who will be the new champion in 2026-27?
