2022 Mike Foust | 6-3 SG | Kelso HS
Foust is a deadly outside shooter when his feet are set. He went 8/13 from deep one game. He can score from the low post against smaller defenders as well. His strong frame allows him to guard multiple positions defensively. Sneaky athlete. Had a baseline drive and rose up to dunk over the rotating weak side defender.
2023 Cavin Holden | 6-1 PG | RA Long HS
Holden has high major point guard written all over him. He plays at his own pace and is never in a hurry. Good floor general that is constantly directing his teammates. Effortless shooting stroke with deep range. Quietly takes over games. Takes and makes big shots. Big stock riser in 2023.
2022 D’Angelo Moore | 5-10 CG | Bremerton HS
Moore is a tough guard that can play at either guard spot. Three-level scorer. He is a crafty finisher with both hands around the rim, has a variety of moves to get to his dribble pull-up, and is a good spot-up shooter when his feet are set. Has the clutch gene and plays with a chip on his shoulder. High motor.
2022 Jamond Harris | 5-8 PG | RA Long HS
Lefty. Harris is a perfect example of a true point guard. He knocks down open spot-up three’s, takes care of the ball, and does a good job of finding his teammates. Defensive pest. He has active hands that lead to a lot of deflections and steals. Impressive rebounder for his size. Has a knack for reading the ball off the rim to secure both offensive and defensive rebounds for his team. High IQ.
2022 Dirk Plakinger | 6-3 SG | WF West HS
Plakinger is a solid spot-up shooter. Good slasher to the rim and finishes well in transition. Good athlete that can play above the rim; made a few posters this weekend. Active defender leading to chase down blocks and steals in the halfcourt.
2022 Aaron Ofstun | 6-7 F | RA Long HS
Ofstun is a stretch 4 with soft touch around the basket. He has good defensive instincts plus a long wingspan that leads to a lot of blocked shots. He’s also able to contest without fouling. Good passer out of the post. Attacks the glass for rebounds on both ends.
