Fantastic list. Although Ronnie Holmes was a DT
Trey Adams Wenatchee
The lack of #myLancers is depressing
DE- Richie Chambers- Lake Stevens
FB/H-Back- Rick Fenney- Snohomish
QB Tom Flick Bellevue-Interlake
Threw a beautiful ball and did win a P10 title if I’m not mistaken.
Triple shot post.
Great list BTW.
I always thought that but Wikipedia lists him as a DE - maybe he moved there in the NFL?
Never know what to do with Adams. He looked like he was going to be our best OT ever in 2016 then because of injuries he kind of faded into the background the next few years.
No WESCO? Sad!
Conwell and Cleeland as White TE
In my mind he's up there higher if he skips the 2019 season, which admittedly we wouldn't have wanted at the time.
But without that season he's more remembered for 2016 and then getting healthy just in time for the 2018 rose bowl run.
Athlete - Locker, Stanback
(Center)…Ray Mansfield, Kennewick
Not sure how Mansfield slipped by but yeah that's a miss. Arguably the number one center.
Best player from Adams County:
Braxton Clemen
Carson Bruener deserves to be there. Definition of loyal to the soil. Stayed at UW through 3 coaches and played on the national championship team.
Yeah, weird legacy. The last three years definitely distracted from how good he was in 2016. Seemed like he was going to just have a strong 2017 and go to NFL and that disaster of a fucking night in the desert ruined everything (also knocked out Jordan Miller on the final play). Seems like football has moved away from the 6'7+ tackles and is more comfortable with them being barely 6'4 more and more.
Definitely. QB was hard to cut because it's so strong and deep. Both could definitely have an impact at WR or Locker at a FB/Upback, especially since WR isn't very deep.
John Fiala… maybe. His mom was very nice at #mykangs. She caught me cheating at least twice and didn’t fail me.

Hugh "Hair Plug" Millen
Mark "Mountain Climbing" Pattison
Steve Pelluer - Interlake
There really was a wealth of QB's from Moon to say … Pickett.
