The NW’s Top Ranked 25 Teams (#11-25)

Here we continue to breakdown the NW's top 25 teams through the first three weeks of the season. Have a look at #11-25, with #1-10 being featured here <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/the-nws-top-ranked-25-teams-1-10/ ">https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/the-nws-top-ranked-25-teams-1-10/ </a>         11.Tumwater WA (3-0)   Tumwater is coming off a super impressive 38-27 win over Eastlake after destroying Puyallup 56-6 in week 1. They will be tough to beat.    12.Tualatin OR (3-0)   3* BYU commit [player_tooltip player_id='285857' first='Nolan' last='Keeney'] has the inside track on Oregon 6A POY honors as of right now, with [player_tooltip player_id='152653' first='Zhaiel' last='Smith'] playing out of his mind as well. The T-Wolves have exceeded expectations thus far after graduating a D1 perimeter.    13.Kennedy Catholic WA (3-0)    The biggest issue for Kennedy Catholic is that they don't play anybody during the regular season. On paper they look as good as any team, but we won't really know until the playoffs.    14.Lakeridge OR (3-0)   This will be interesting with Lakeridge beating crosstown rival Lake O the last two years. The Pacers feature one of the top defense's in the NW, but it is enough to compete with the likes of West Linn?   15.Kennewick WA (3-0)   Just a really good program year in and year out. Through three weeks they are beating opponents by an average score of 46-7. That said, as games between Chiawana, Richland, and Kamiakin are typically tough.    16.Graham Kapowsin WA (1-2)   Close losses to O'Dea and Skyview, speak to the talent on the roster. Freshman QB [player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] is the real deal.    17.Anacortes WA (3-0)    The game this week versus fellow 2A power Lynden should speak to where the defending state champs are at. As most know the Beaner kids are two of Washington's best regardless of classification.    18.Chiawana WA (2-1)   Chiawana got smacked to start the season 42-8 by a good Rocky Mountain, Idaho team. The last two weeks they have won by a combined score of 100-0, which included a 44-0 win over a solid Kamiakin program.    19.Yelm WA (3-0)    One of the state's top overall programs has three solid wins to start the year against Mt Tahoma, Lincoln, and Kamiakin. Week 5 will be interesting when they play GK.    20.Sheldon OR (3-0)   The Irish have destroyed their first three opponents by a score of 125-23. They likely won't have a close game the rest of the regular season and will be 9-0 heading into the playoffs.    21.Lynden WA (3-0)   A win this week against Anacortes changes everything. They have the guys to compete.    22.Richland WA (3-0)   I could see the Bombers making a deep run in the playoffs. As a team they have beat their first three opponents by a score of 157-21 with [player_tooltip player_id='1136319' first='Colson' last='Mackey'] and [player_tooltip player_id='726175' first='Brody' last='Bocek'] combining for 9 TD receptions. They play a tough conference schedule the rest of the way and have a very intriguing game against Skyview in week 6.    23.Eastlake WA (1-2)   Eastlake made a nice run to the state semi's last year and return a lot of those guys. They have respectable losses to Eastside Catholic and Tumwater and play one of the toughest schedules in the state with zero easy weeks.     24.Roosevelt WA (2-1)   The Roughriders almost got that week 1 win versus top ranked Camas and had numerous top recruits transfer in over the off season. They have the potential of keeping it close against O'Dea and Eastside Catholic.    25.Arlington WA (3-0)   For the 2nd season in a row QB [player_tooltip player_id='693772' first='Leyton' last='Martin'] has been off the charts good. It's very possible they will go in undefeated against Lake Stevens the last game of the year.
