First we broke the players down by division and then we switched gears to analyze who are expected to be the most outstanding athletes in the top teams of each of those divisions.
For the next several weeks, we’ll dive even deeper, taking a closer look at each of the 46 district leagues in the state of Washington and pointing out the players we believe will be worth your attention in the near future.
The Northwest District reunites seven high schools from the 1B and 2B classes and their three best players are:
Ellie Marble – Outside Hitter – Sophomore – LaConner
Ellie Marble is not only a star in the district but in the entire 2B class as she was awarded as a Co-Player of the Year after leading LaConner to the State Championship title in her freshman season in 2019. The six-foot outside hitter was a stud for the Braves, producing for the team in large volume at the net with impressive 397 kills. Marble also contributed in basically every other aspect of the game, producing 410 digs, 242 passes, 58 aces and 21 blocks for the team.
Emma Droog – Middle-Blocker- Junior – Mount Vernon Christian
Emma Droog has been an important piece for Mount Vernon Christian in each of the two campaigns she had with the team. The 5’10” middle-blocker was the team’s leading scorer and also provided an influential presence at the net for the Hurricanes. Her game took her to the All-State team as an honorable mention.
Rachel Cram – Libero – Junior – LaConner
Rachel Cram has been as solid as it gets for state champions LaConner during her high school volleyball career. The 5’5” defender had another strong season for the Braves in 2019, when her high-energy game strongly impacted the team’s success as she led the backcourt with 393 digs (4.6 per set) and 279 passes. Her performance made of her an All-State second-team selection in class 2B.
