From Reed (my team): Mattia Cassell (absolute dog, MVP of sectionals ask anyone), Aiden Hsu (all freshman), Josh Spieth
From Lewis & Clark: Ben Travers
From Whitworth: Jacob Robblee (goat)
Whitworth: Jake Robblee
Whitman player here, I’m gonna drop a ton of names.
1st team:
- UPS: Sahaj Olivar (One of the best all-around players and throwers in the entire division)
- L&C: Max Zwerin (Terrifying, no one on a D-line wants to guard him), Leo Farley (Crazy athletic, easily one of the best players in the division)
- Whitworth: Jake Robblee
- UP: Nick Jacobsen (If he’s a first year he should also be on the all-freshman team. Amazing player)
- Whitman: Nico Darringer (Probably the best cutter in the division), Colin Pfister (Really great defender, plays the most out of any Whitman player)
2nd team:
- Whitman: Ben Canty (Heart and soul of our team, doesn’t get enough attention), Elan Gorham Siegler, Lyle Hahn
- Whitworth: Tommy Chase
- Reed: Aiden Hsu, Josh Speith
- UP: Jonah Talmadge
All-freshman (not positive all these guys are first-years):
- Whitman: Max Flemming
- L&C: Tyler Shelton (For both Max and Tyler, it takes a lot to be an O-line hander as a freshman, they both are incredibly consistent and handle it very well)
- Reed: Aiden Hsu
- Whitworth: Tommy Chase
