Another Riders’ sophomore, Jaida Wood, also was a first-team pick. Wood is second on Port Angeles in scoring with 11 points per game and also hauls down 4.3 rebounds and averages 1.2 steals per outing.

Sequim sophomore post Jayla Julmist was a first-team honoree. She averages 10 points, 14 rebounds, 2.5 steals and two blocks per game. Wolves’ junior forward Hope Glasser also made the first team.

North Kitsap’s Noey Barreith and Raelee Moore rounded out the first-team picks.
