Western Conference boys' basketball coaches have named Shorewood senior Josh Hawkinson and Glacier Peak senior Zach Pederson as WESCO 3A South co-players-of-the-year.

The two were part of an eight-player all-Wesco-3A-South first team along with two other players from division runner-up Glacier Peak and four from division champion Mountlake Terrace.

Shorewood seniors Ben Andrews and Taylor Freeman, Shorecrest seniors Sam Franks and Alex Horning, and Shorecrest junior Masambba Njadoe made up the whole five-member all-division second team.

Honorable mention went to Shorecrest senior Dylan Pontrello, two players from Meadowdale and one each from Glacier Peak and Mountlake Terrace.

Shorewood placed third in the division behind Mountlake Terrace and Glacier Peak, with Shorecrest fourth.

Mountlake Terrace and Glacier Peak went on to place second and third in the Northwest District 3A tournament behind Stanwood. Mountlake Terrace won its regional game from Foss of Tacoma last weekend and was to play in a State quarterfinal game against Lincoln of Tacoma at the Tacoma Dome Thursday. Stanwood lost its regional game to Franklin of Seattle, and Glacier Peak lost its regional game to Rainier Beach of Seattle.
