Mid-Co 3A/4A preview – Pre-season awards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The mid-Columbia 3A/4A league is a combination of teams from each level. There are 9 teams total. Five 4A and four 3A teams in total and one team from Oregon in Hermiston. Richland has the talent to be league champions and make some noise in the post-season with [player_tooltip player_id='1612191' first='Josh' last='Woodard'] running the show. Walla Walla has perhaps the best prospect in this league in [player_tooltip player_id='1450941' first='Will' last='Sullivan'], an athletic 6'4 SG. Kamiakin lost key players but returns [player_tooltip player_id='1409013' first='Peter' last='Dress'], who is one of the best talents in the league. Chiawana guard [player_tooltip player_id='1587985' first='Kade' last='Smith'] is back for a team that should be improved. Here's a closer look.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>2021-22 season </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4A teams</strong> <br>Richland 19-5 (15-1 league)<br>Kamiakin 22-5 (16-1 league)<br>Chiawana 13-9 (10-6 league)<br>Hanford 8-13 (6-10 league)<br>Pasco 0-20 (0-16 league)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3A teams </strong><br>Kennewick 17-9 (10-6 league)<br>Walla Walla 11-12 (9-7 league)<br>Southridge 4-15 (3-13 league)<br>Hermiston 4-20 (4-12 league)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>2022-23 pre-season predictions</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Richland</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Walla Walla</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Chiawana</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kamiakin</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Southridge</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kennewick</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Hermiston</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Hanford</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Pasco</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>2022-23 pre-season awards</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>League MVP</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1450941' first='Will' last='Sullivan'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1st team</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1612191' first='Josh' last='Woodard']<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1409013' first='Peter' last='Dress']<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1587985' first='Kade' last='Smith']<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1439241' first='Jonah' last='Gebers']<br><strong>Jace Vopalensky</strong> - Richland </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2nd team</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1450498' first='Lucas' last='Westerfield']<br><strong>Donavin Young</strong> - Chiawana <br><strong>Grant Olsen</strong> - Hermiston <br>[player_tooltip player_id='1450572' first='Dane' last='Gardea']<br><strong>Jesse Tijerena</strong> - Southridge </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
