More than eight months have passed since the 2020 Washington high school boys basketball state championships — the last high school sports event to take place before the COVID-19 shutdown. 

While high school sports remain on hold in Washington, many of last year’s seniors are preparing to compete on a bigger stage in college. 

Here's a closer look at where the seniors on our 2019-2020 all-state boys basketball teams are now:

SBLIVE’S 2019-20 ALL-STATE TEAMS: ALL-CLASS | 4A | 3A | 2A | 1A | 2B | 1B

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

4A Boys

Jabe Mullins, Mount Si (Player of the Year)

COLLEGE: Mullins is playing college basketball for Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif.

In Mount Si’s run to its first state title since 1977, Mullins played facilitator, floor general, scorer and defensive stalwart. The 6-foot-6 guard takes those skills to Randy Bennett’s system in the WCC — a team that is looking for an effective guard to replace Jordan Ford.

Eason was perhaps the brightest star at the state tournament, leading Garfield to a 3A state title.
