<p><strong>As most know, all state selections are heavily dictated by team success. If your HS program is winning, you're much more likely to receive this type of recognition. This is NOT a recruitment-based list although many of the top recruits are listed as all state athletes. Have a look at the pre-season 1<sup>st</sup> & 2<sup>nd</sup> team all state picks as of right now, along with the leading candidates for 4A Washington Offensive POY honors</strong>. </p>

<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='693679' first='Peyton' last='Cunningham']6-1 180 ATH 25' North Creek </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As good as he is on D, I could see Cunningham breaking records on offense. As a sophomore he went for 1000 yards and 9 TDs, showing special vision and awareness in the open field. Credit to Washington State on being the first to offer as many others will as well. If North Creek can win a playoff game or two, he could very well be your Player of the Year.</p>

<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='115333' first='Beau' last='Phillips'] 5-10 190 RB 24' Mount Si </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Phillips had a phenomenal junior season, earning all-conference honors at RB (1<sup>st</sup> team) , DB, and as a return man. He went for 1300 yards and 14 TDs, averaging 7.5 yards per carry. He might collegiately on D but will be one Washington's best on Offense. </p>

<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='158338' first='Rocco' last='Koch'] 6-1 200 QB 24' Curtis </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The returning Co-Conference POY played lights out all season as a junior, totaling 2600 yards of offense (1500 passing, 1100 rushing) and 30 TDs (21 passing, 9 rushing). To me Curtis might be the most intriguing team in the state coming back with the conference POY in Koch leading them and so much young talent on the roster. </p>
