EHS baseball coach honored as SPSL 21 Coach of the year; Markam shared co-MVP

All the spring sports have concluded, meaning it’s time to see where Plateau athletes land in the “best of the best” category. Following each of the three prep seasons, coaches throughout the South Puget Sound League 2A compile their all-league lists.

The task is noteworthy this year, considering that Enumclaw and White River high schools will be making a jump to Class 3A status beginning with the fall season. Population growth at the schools has pushed the Plateau schools into the North Puget Sound League.
