But based on the rostered players, the East has a decided edge in this department. One thing the West has going for it is Maia Tabion Maia Tabion F WA and Kira Prologo Kira Prologo D Eastlake High School | 2022 WA are high school teammates and both play in the back, so perhaps there might be some cohesion with the West back line that the East might not have.
