Evan Peterson

Issaquah, WR, 6-1, 170, Jr.

Despite missing two games due to injury, Denton still challenged the state rushing record and finished with 2,055 yards. The all-state baseball center fielder had 26 touchdowns for the WesCo North champs, who went undefeated in league for the second straight season.

Brett Kirschner

Interlake, RB, 5-11, 200, Sr.

The KingCo 3A/2A Offensive Player of the Year did a little of everything for the Saints. Kirschner had 1,613 rushing yards, 580 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns, leading Interlake to a winning season and a trip to the playoffs as the only 2A school the league.

Michael Hartvigson

Bothell, TE, 6-6, 241, Sr.

The UW-bound tight end provided a large, sure-handed target for quarterback Mitchell Muller. Hartvigson caught 16 passes for 213 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season and had seven catches for 85 yards and two scores in the playoffs. In addition, he plays defensive end and terrorized opposing offenses all season.

Colin Porter

Bothell, OL, 6-5, 310, Sr.

When Bothell needed a yard, the Cougars ran behind the UW-bound tackle. The KingCo 4A Crown Division Offensive co-MVP didn't give up a sack all season. Coach Tom Bainter called him the best run blocker and pass blocker he's coached.

Ben Riva

O'Dea, OL, 6-6, 272, Sr.

Massive specimen paved the way for a vaunted Irish run game that averaged 7.5 yards per attempt. The Washington Huskies commit was a key force in O'Dea's drive to reclaim the Metro League championship in dominant fashion.

Jase Butorac

Skyline, OL, 6-4, 289, Sr.

As a sophomore, Skyline coach Mat Taylor asked Butorac to take on Lakes TE Kavario Middleton. Butorac held his own. The two-time All-KingCo offensive line selection's main job this season was protecting QB Jake Heaps' blindside.

Maxx Forde

Woodinville, OL, 6-4, 240, Sr.

On offense, Forde played left tackle, protecting sophomore quarterback Brett Arrivey. The athletic lineman with good hands and a high football IQ is weighing five scholarship offers. On defense, he made 33 ½ tackles — seven for loss — and three sacks in five games.

Danny Shelton

Auburn, OL, 6-2, 320, Jr.

A blend of size and speed with a motor that never quits, Shelton is on the radar as one of the nation's best recruits for 2011. Voted the SPSL North's Lineman of the Year on both offense and defense as Trojans returned to the 4A state quarterfinals.

Trenton Pinson

Federal Way, all-purpose,

6-0, 188, Sr.

After placing second in the 4A state track meet in both the 100 and 200 last spring, Pinson proved he's a hot commodity on the football field, rushing for nearly 1,200 yards and averaging more than 30 yards on kickoff returns. Drawing D-1 recruiting interest.

Race Sciabica

Bellevue, K, 6-1, 185, Sr.

The All-KingCo 3A/2A kicker nailed a 46-yard field goal at Katy, Texas. He also drilled a pair of field goals to help the Wolverines hold off third-ranked Liberty. But his most impressive accomplishment came in the 3A semifinals when he equaled his regular-season total with four field goals against Union in a 19-13 victory.
