A pair of local standout seniors earned some top honors as the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association announced its all-state boys basketball teams for all classifications last week.

Willapa Valley’s Tyler Adkins and Raymond’s Tre’ Seydel were named to the 1B and 2B All-State Teams, respectively.

Adkins provided steady leadership for a Vikings team that won league and district titles and advanced to the state tournament.
