Class of 2019 Stock Risers
As the class of 2017 makes there way out of high school and onto the next phase of their lives academically and athletically we make way for a new bread of stars. The class of 2019 is already showing some promise with some heavy hitters who put there skills on display this summer with some monster performances. Heading into there junior season, these guys look to become more of an intricate part of their respected high school teams.
Class of 2019 5’9 guard Kenny Curtis is slowly moving up the ranks as one of the top guards in the state. He is walking into his junior year with some confidence after a successful summer campaign.
Kenny is a tough guard that embraces physicality. His biggest strength is taking the ball to the basket whether it’s in transition or taking his man off the dribble in the half court. With that being said, Kenny can also take control of a team in the half court and initiate sets. Rainier Beach is a team that tends to push the ball every chance they get, so Kenny has the responsibility of ensuring execution. The 5’9 guard does a good job getting after it defensively with active hands
Class of 2019 and Richland High School standout 6’4 guard Colten Northop has been turning heads this summer. With a long wingspan and a deadly outside shot. Programs across the country will look to utilize this young mans services.
Colten Northop is one of the most underrated guards in the state of Washington. He is long, athletic and has the ability to handle the ball against small guards. In some of his more recent tournament play he has shown that he can also knock down tough shots in tough situations. With an increasing skill-set and a great coaching staff at his disposal he will continue to build on his abilities
The 6’0 155 pound Class of 2019 standout Pierre Crockrell is running with Dream Vision AAU out of California this summer. His outstanding play during the live period has surely not gone unnoticed. Heavy interest from some of the local and non local schools are starting to pile up for the young ball player.
Hailing from Tacoma, Washington Pierre Crockrell is making his name a household one as he gets closer to his final years of high school. He is currently ranked #4 in the state of Washington. Ranked #36 at his position which is point guard and is ranked #133 nationally. Currently enrolled at Prolific Prep school in California. He is an absolute nightmare for opposing guards. Standing 6’0 most would consider that a little on the undersized side. When you look at his body composition he actually looks about 2 inches talker because he has some muscle mass. This young man can get to the rim at will and can make others around him better.
Class of 2019 forward Noah Robinson is the only returning member of last years championship caliber team. With his experience, Noah will be the key element to a successful season for the Life Christian Academy Eagles.
As a large 6’4” prospect who looks to score from multiple spots on the court, Noah has been one of the most interesting 2019 prospects we’ve watched this summer. On Wednesday, Noah was most effective from about 15-feet away from the basket — he was able to facilitate to cutters and pass it to the opposite side or shoot a soft jump shot.
When you think of a combo guard, you think of a player who can shoot, handle the ball and create opportunities for his teammates. Cole Hicks embodies that style of play. Standing 5 foot 11, his speed and ball handling ability enables him to get to the basket with ease.
Going into his junior year next season at Timberline High School in Lacey, WA. Cole is looking to break out and capture the eyes of many D2-D3 schools who are need of his many skill sets. This spring and summer, he will be playing for NDO HORNETS out of Lacey, WA.
