[player_tooltip player_id='1727670' first='Max' last='Bridges'] of Glacier Peak had an unreal year finishing the season with 44 tackles, 10 TFL's, and a 4A leading 18 sacks. Statistically Petrah MacKenzie of Moses Lake was as good as anyone in the NW, totaling 146 tackles and 9.5 TFL's.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skyview out of Vancouver has as good a trio of LB's as anyone in the region with [player_tooltip player_id='1530876' first='Toren' last='Baker'], [player_tooltip player_id='1568793' first='David' last='Dudko'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1530877' first='Tyallen' last='Edmon'] all being 2x all GSHL selections.
