1,000 Yard Receiving Club

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eight receivers in Washington broke the 1,000 yard mark in the 2022 season, with two of them coming from West Valley. three out of these eight will return for their senior seasons next fall, and all eyes should be on them. Take a look at the 1,000 yard club WR's from the fall: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='584045' first='Reese' last='Vassar'], <em>Brewster '23:</em> Vassar led the state with 1,315 yards on the year, establishing himself as a lethal receiver. He also added 22 total TD's on the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='158340' first='Noah' last='McNair'], <em>Sunnyside '24:</em> Mcnair was a super explosive player for Sunnyside and had himself a huge year. He racked up 1,235 yards and 18 TD's (led state in receiving TD's) on 79 receptions. He'll definitely be a 2024 WR that will see his recruitment spark up relatively soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ben Pupplo</strong>, <em>West Valley '23: </em>Pupplo hauled in 75 receptions for 1,234 yards and 11 TD's in just a 9 game span. A big time play maker after the catch with good top end speed and vision to turn those 5 yard out routes into big play TD's. He broke the school record against Moses Lake, where he snagged 11 balls for 250 yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/benpupplo/status/1568006405361397761?s=20u0026amp;t=Bv_24dKEDAK-ELIOJmeohg","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/benpupplo/status/1568006405361397761?s=20&amp;t=Bv_24dKEDAK-ELIOJmeohg </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='206275' first='Jackson' last='Almond'], <em>Cascade Christian '24:</em> Almond took a major leap from his sophomore to junior season, and projects to be in that POY question next year as a senior. HE hauled in 58 catches for 1,213 yards and 12 TD's, estbalishing himself as a prototypical big play receiver. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='158405' first='Tony' last='Harste'], <em>Emerald Ridge '24:</em> Harste established a lethal connection with standout QB [player_tooltip player_id='115343' first='Jake' last='Schakel'], as he pulled in 80 receptions for 1,166 yards and 13 TD's. He's drawn in some deserved D1 attention, and I believe next year will be a special year for Harste given that Shakel-Harste connection. High expectations moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='333775' first='Bo' last='Hiemstra'], <em>Silas '23:</em> Hiemstra totaled 1,120 yards on 72 catches, which included 7 receving TD's (11 total). Hiemstra was a solid vertical threat that displayed good body control and did an excellent job mossing defenders, hauling in those contested catches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='584058' first='Breydan' last='Fisher'], <em>Washington '23:</em> Not only did Fisher break the 1,000 yard club (1,111), but he was also a TD machine with 15 TD's on the year, doing all of this on 56 receptions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jackson May</strong>, <em>West Valley '23:</em> Another West Valley receiver breaking the 1,000 mark on the year. May pulled in 74 receptions for 1,095 yards and 7 TD's. Although he is committed to Bellevue College for baseball, May had himself a stellar senior season in which college coaches should take note of. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
