Because the Northwest Conference will not have all-league teams for this COVID-crazy season, Whatcom Hoops has decided to unveil its own all-star teams … with a little twist.
First of all, these will be all-WHATCOM COUNTY teams, which means the Lummi Nation players will be included but no Skagit or Snohomish County players will be eligible.
Second, while most basketball all-star squads have five-player teams, we don’t know of any high school that has a team with only five players. So our all-Whatcom Hoops squads will have 10 players on their first, second and third (honorable mention) teams.
We will be releasing the teams all this week. Here’s the schedule:
Monday: Girls honorable mention
Tuesday: Boys honorable mentions
Wednesday: Girls second team
Thursday: Boys second team
Friday: Girls first team
Saturday: Boys first team
Sunday: End of the year awards
So, here are the all-Whatcom Hoops girls honorable mentions in alphabetical order.
