The group includes Jake Taubenheim, Eric Koenig and Mike Kilpatrick, all from Snohomish, Aaron Hatch of Monroe, and Colin Samuelson of Lynnwood.
They were among the 10 players nominated for the series following Friday’s game, which saw the Wesco South beat the Wesco North 6-4.
The other players nominated were Matt Sweeney of Lake Stevens, Tylor Klep and Jake Thomas of Marysville Pilchuk, Derek Callahan of Edmonds-Woodway, and Sam Richards of Kamiak.

Esha Harwalkar led the team with four gold medals. She placed first in the Juvenile B Figures, the Juvenile B Circle Loops, the Juvenile Combine and the Juvenile A Freestyle.
The team’s other multiple gold-medalist was Alicia Kacharia, who placed first in the Juvenile/Elementary C Figures, the Juvenile/Elementary C Loops and the Juvenile/Elementary C Combine.

Casey Benson of Lynnwood, 11, was named a regional all-star after his showing last week at the USA Gymnastics Region 1 Summer Blast in Provo, Utah.
Competing at Level 9 in the 11-12 age group, Benson had winning scores of 61.9 on the trampoline, 61.6 in the double mini and 52.9 in tumbling.
