Reclassification Numbers: Timberline to 4A, Capital to 3A, Rochester to 2A
UPDATE: The WIAA released new numbers on December 13th. See story here.
Enrollment data for the upcoming reclassification of Washington State high schools has been released by the WIAA and there are some interesting possible movements in the Olympia area.
The Daily News has done the heavy lifting and broke down the numbers by expected classification considering teams have the option to opt up to higher classifications.
What it shows for Thurston County schools is that Timberline will move up to 4A, Capital will move up to 3A and Rochester will likely move up to 2A. Rainier sits on the very edge of 1A and could easily drop down to 2B if a school smaller than them decides to opt up to 1A.
So we will likely see local schools in these classifications for the 2014-2016 seasons…
4A: Olympia, Timberline, Yelm
3A: Capital, North Thurston, Shelton
2A: Tumwater, Black Hills, River Ridge, Rochester
1A: Tenino, Rainier (maybe)
2B: Northwest Christian, Rainier (maybe)
1B: Pope John Paul II
Josh Phillips Named WCC Defender of the Year
Josh Phillips, a 2010 graduate of Capital and currently a senior at Gonzaga University, was named the West Coast Conference’s Defender of the Year today. From GoZags.com…
“Phillips (Olympia, Wash.) joins Nick Barclay in 2008 as the only other Bulldog to earn Defender of the Year accolades. A mainstay on the Bulldog defense he was instrumental in Gonzaga allowing opponents just 0.95 goals/match. The 10 wins for the Bulldogs this season marked the first double-digit wins season since 2000, and Gonzaga’s 5-4-3 WCC record for third place is the highest finish since 2008. He earned All-WCC second-team honors in 2011.
Phillips said it’s a great honor to be chosen.
‘I was pretty excited when I heard the news. It’s a great honor to be recognized with this award, not only for me but as a program we really turned things around this year. It’s been a wonderful ride this year.'”
Gonzaga went 10-6-3 overall this season and finished in third place of the WCC at 5-4-3 behind Loyola Marymount and Santa Clara. The Zags did not receive an at-large berth to the NCAA Championships on Sunday.
Phillips is the second local alum honored in Division I soccer. Tumwater grad Abbey Bergquist was named the Big Sky’s Newcomer of the Year. She made 16 starts for Portland State and scored a pair of goals with a pair of assists.
