A player just starting to make his presence felt this spring is Bellevue (Wa.) DB/WR Reuben Mwehla, a 5’9″, 185-pounder who will see time on both sides of the ball this coming fall. “Last year, I played behind Tyler Hasty on defense, so I didn’t get much time at DB, but on offense I started every game at wide receiver,” Mwehla told Northwest Elite Index recently. “This year I’ll play…

Two NW Top Athletes Closing In On Offers;Tanner Shipley & Johnny Ragin
(Tanner Shipley 6-2 190 Jr. WR/S Wilsonville) Were not quite sure who will be the first to offer, but we are willing to bet it will be sometime soon.

Its still early, but…

Lake Steven’s Elgaen Is One To Watch
Last season’s run by Lake Stevens to the state semi-finals was the product of a lot of hard work and some talented seniors who helped lead the way for the Vikings. However, with those players now headed to college programs across the region, they are looking for some new blood to plug in and one player already stepping to the fore front is ATH Andrew Elgaen. Elgaen, a 6’0″, 190-pound…

Domenic Rockey 6-3 185 Jr. QB Auburn Mountainview As we have noted over the past couple months at Northwest Elite Index, the state of Washington is loaded with talented signal-callers this year and one that flew under-the-radar until he put up huge numbers as a junior this past fall was Auburn Mountainview’s Domenic Rockey. At 6’3″, 185 pounds, Rockey has enough height to see his receivers pretty easily and he…
