<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Postseason play is getting really close as teams are about to finish their regular season games. Here are some teams who are favorites to win it all in their classes, in my eyes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Chelan HS</em></strong>: Current Record: 16-3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chelan has only dropped 3 games this season, having consistent big wins throughout the season. [player_tooltip player_id='2021625' first='Luca' last='Faletto'] is a senior who knows how to pick apart defenses and elevate all his teammates games. [player_tooltip player_id='2140862' first='Tev' last='Uttech'] has been playing at another level this season, recently having 28 points and 22 rebounds in a single game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Annie Wright</em></strong>: Current Record: 11-6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Annie Wright has been dominating their conference games, yet to drop an in-conference matchup yet. Their young squad is insanely talented and is only going to get better as htey continue to get more minutes on the court together. [player_tooltip player_id='2726747' first='Brian' last='Holliday'] is a smooth guard who is a great leader to the younger group that involved Z Poulin, [player_tooltip player_id='2879457' first='James' last='Thomas'], and [player_tooltip player_id='2746865' first='Austin' last='Collins'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Lynden Christian HS</strong></em>: Current Record: 17-1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lyncs dominate every year and always have talent that is able to step up for the team. [player_tooltip player_id='2392727' first='Dawson' last='Hintz'] is a big time player and a guard who has all the makings of a Division 1 guard. [player_tooltip player_id='2739562' first='Gunnar' last='Dykstra'] is a smooth lefty guard who shoots it lights out and knows how to play with great change of pace. [player_tooltip player_id='2457277' first='Kaden' last='Veldman'] dominates the paint and does a great job at expanding his range to the 3 point level. They will all be back next year too, so this Lyncs domination won't be stopping soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Zillah HS</em></strong>: Current Record: 17-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zillah has yet to drop a game this season and have really only been contested a few times. Dekker Van de Graaf is a wing who has continued to prove he can smoothly score the ball and play with patience and control, always playing off two feet. He can takeover easily but also pick apart defenses to get his teammates easy buckets. They are a favorite to win it all and finish the season without a loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Royal HS</strong></em>: Current Record: 15-2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Royal is the one team to really play Zillah to a tough game. This squad plays as a team and everyone on the team is unselfish on the court which leads to awesome team basketball. [player_tooltip player_id='2375339' first='Grant' last='Wardenaar'] has been showcasing his ability to be an elite player and someone they can rely on to get buckets when he wants. They shoot the ball well from deep too so anyone open from the outside is a threat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Postseason play is getting really close as teams are about to finish their regular season games. Here are some teams who are favorites to win it all in their classes, in my eyes.
