Here's a look at the Class 2A Central Washington Athletic Conference:

TOP TEAM

Ellensburg is deep, rangy, talented - and returns seven players from last season's regional-bound squad. The Bulldogs are a legitimate state contender.

PLAYER TO WATCH

East Valley of Yakima coach Robi Raab says guard Ashlyn Sylve is the best athlete in 30 years he's ever coached. She does everything for the Red Devils.

Ellensburg sophomore Dylan Phillip has eye-popping hops as the league's most talented wing player, and is a prime first-team all-state candidate for the Bulldogs.
