Shoutout To Best Of Best: Whatcom Hoops Counts Down Top 30

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.
