A pair of local defensive linemen earned spots on the all-state first team for their classification as The Associated Press all-state high school football teams were released Tuesday.

Camas senior Odin Coe was the lone player from the Greater St. Helens League to be selected to the Class 3A all-state first team.

Coe led the Papermakers defense as they reached the state quarterfinals for the first time in school history.

Stevenson senior Wade Huett made the first team defense for Class 1A. Huett was the defensive player of the year in the Trico League, as the Bulldogs reached the state playoffs for the first time in school history.

Two Skyview athletes earned honorable mention in Class 4A. Cody Fields, a senior, earned honorable mention on the offensive line. Senior Ellis Henderson earned honorable mention in the all-purpose position, as well as defensive back.

Henderson, the 4A GSHL defensive player of the year, has given a verbal commitment to play for Hawai’i.

Coe, Henderson and Union linebacker Zak Browning were selected to the all-classification all-state teams as selected by the Seattle Times and the Tacoma News Tribune.

Skyline star wide receiver Kasen Williams was voted as The Associated Press Washington prep football player of the year.

Williams was named the player of the year in voting conducted by AP members. Along with being the player of the year in all classifications, Williams was voted the player of the year in Class 4A.

Already committed to play his college ball at Washington, Williams finished his career with 235 receptions, 4,121 yards and 56 receiving TDs.

Capital running back Tyler Sundberg was voted the player of the year in Class 3A, while Tumwater’s Kyle Warner earned the honor in Class 2A.

Connell’s Matt Hadley (Class 1A), South Bend’s Ryan Vongmixay (Class 2B) and Lummi’s Eric Robinson (Class 1B) were also voted players of the year in their respective classes.
