One mans opinion on the Top 10 Teams in Eastern WA:
1. Cashmere-- Defending State Champions. Back to back final fours. Returning all leaguers: Tarver (1st), Elliott (2nd), Johnson (2nd), Weiler (HM), McNair (HM)
2. Naches Valley-- 4 straight Final fours. 2009 state champs. Returning all leaguers: Johns (1st), Walker (1st), Kass (2nd), Gonzalez (HM), Putas (HM)
3. Coulumbia (Burbank)-- Very talented group last season that underachieved. Should be hungry this year. Returning all leaguers: Smith (1st), Bertsch (1st), Ireland (2nd)
4. Kiona-Benton-- Mason is just as good as Johns & Tarver on the mound. Very solid 1-2 punch w/ Deaton. State qualifiers in 2010. Returning all leaguers: Mason (1st), Deaton (2nd)
5. Zillah-- They have the pieces to make a run at regionals. Returning all leaguers: Dasso (1st), Salinas (2nd), Ross (HM), Fink (HM), Ziegler(HM)
6. Freeman-- Very young squad last year that just missed out on regionals. Returning all leaguers: Panzerri (1st), Altmeyer (1st), Duckett (1st), Zakheim (2nd)
7. Goldendale-- Graduated a lot of offensive production. Returning all leaguers: Denny (2nd), Lindhe (HM), Moss (HM)
8. Lakeside--Should battle for the NEA crown in 2011. Returning all leaguers: Baker (1st), Moore (1st), Connall (2nd), Gunderson (2nd)
9. Okanogan-- Very good pitching, and a new coach this season. Returning all leaguers: Gilman (1st), Townsend (HM)
10. Omak-- Well coached, only 1A team to beat Cashmere in 2010. Returning all leaguers: Green (2nd), Velasco (HM)
