In another amazing season filled with outstanding players, Whatcom Hoops is ranking the top 30 boys. Each day we’ll feature an outstanding player in our county and count down until we get to #1. So join us daily as we honor the best of the best.
#12
Blake Elston, junior, Squalicum
WHY HE’S #12: The 6-foot-2 guard continued his ascent into the Northwest Conference elite by stepping up as the leader of the Storm. He averaged almost 15 points and 5 rebounds and more than 2 assists and 2 steals a game and his all-around game and ability to be both scorer and play maker made him a second team all-NWC choice.
COACH DAVID DUNHAM: “Blake was a major scoring threat for us this season. He led the team in scoring and 3-point percentage while making significant improvements in his overall game from last season to this year.”
NOTE: Thank you to the coaches and to Tyler Anderson of WhatcomPreps.com for season stats.
