After another historic high school basketball season that saw Whatcom teams claim two state championships and three other state trophies, it’s time to honor the top players from our county.
Starting Tuesday, March 25, and continuing through April, Whatcom Hoops will be recognizing the best of the best as we count down daily from #30 to #1 for both the boys and girls.
But with so many outstanding players on our 22 teams, even the top 60 is not enough. So to start off our countdown, here are the honorable mentions for both the boys and the girls in alphabetical order. (And be sure to check out Whatcom Hoops each day.)
