Price, Lopes, Whitmire top AP Washington all-state football team

James Price was Mr. Consistent, catching touchdown passes in nine of 11 games for the Camas Papermakers, with seven 100-yard games.

Gabe Lopes was the Class 4A Greater St. Helens League’s defensive player of the year, helping Camas hold opponents to 13 points per game.

Eli Whitmire scored 21 offensive touchdowns in just eight games for the Woodland Beavers.

Impressive? Clearly.

In fact, those performances caught the eyes of statewide voters for The Associated Press’ all-state football teams.

Price was named to the Class 4A first team as a wide receiver. Lopes was first team as a linebacker.

Whitmire, meanwhile, was a first-team running back for the Class 2A team.

The all-state teams were announced Tuesday.

Price, Lopes, and Whitmire were three of nine players from The Columbian’s region to be voted to the all-state teams.

Alex Walker, offensive lineman from Camas, and Tyler Dionne, punter from Union, made the 4A’s second team.

Nathan Hawthorne made the Class 3A second team as a wide receiver and also made it to the second team as a defensive back. Hawthorne was not the only athlete to get dual honors. Whitmire was the second-team all purpose/return specialist.

Also celebrating in Woodland are offensive lineman Isaac Andersen and linebacker Troy Flanagan, who were second-team selections.

Austen Johnson of Hockinson made the 2A second team as a defensive back.

All five teams from The Columbian’s region represented in the all-state team reached the playoffs.

Camas had its third consecutive undefeated regular season, won again in a Week 10 playoff, only to lose in the first round of the state playoffs.

Union finished second to Camas in the 4A GSHL and also lost in the first round of state in Week 11.

Columbia River reached the Class 3A state quarterfinals, finishing 9-3.

Hockinson won a Week 10 playoff game for the first time in school history and also won in the first round of state before falling in the 2A quarterfinals, finishing with an 11-1 record.

Woodland won its first seven games of the season before finishing second to Hockinson in the 2A GSHL and then lost in Week 10.
