Spokane Juniors Looking to Breakout

These Juniors have been working all fall and Summer to give their all in their last two seasons of High School basketball. Even though it is a shortened season, their goals are still the same, get better and win! Look out for these players to make big impacts this season! <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1178789" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Dylan-Darling-219x300.jpg" alt="" width="219" height="300" />   [player_tooltip player_id="929627" first="Dylan" last="Darling"] | Guard, Central Valley High School Dylan is a very gifted scorer with great ball handling. Dylan uses his speed and agility to break down his defender to either get a bucket or create for his teammates. His motor on both ends of the court is what makes him a standout guard, not backing down from any challenges presented on the court, and is very composed in big-time moments. Dylan is a great student holding a 3.2 GPA.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Jackson-Harty-rotated.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1178791 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Jackson-Harty-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>Jackson Harty | Forward/Center, West Valley High School Standing at 6’9 210 lbs, with a 6'10 wingspan, Jackson is a PRESENCE on the offensive and defensive end of the court. He is a very active rebounder and an excellent shot blocker. Jackson is very active around the rim on defense rebounding and blocking shots. Not only does he play great defense he is a great offensive threat too! He has a very soft shooting touch that can stretch the floor and shoot it from outside to create space for his teammates in the paint. Jackson has very STRONG post moves and is a handful to guard in the paint. Other than his skill on the court, Jackson is a very disciplined student achieving a 3.7 GPA. Look for the Eagles to lean on Jackson to be their anchor on Defense and a major threat on offense.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Trayce-Atkins-rotated.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1178793" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Trayce-Atkins-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>   [player_tooltip player_id="929632" first="Trayce" last="Atkins"] | Guard, Ferris High School Trayce is a VERY quick and agile scorer. Trayce excels at attacking his defender off the dribble and getting to the basket for a bucket or drawing a foul. Not only is Trayce a great scorer, but he is an amazing playmaker using his quickness to create for his teammates. On the defensive end, Trayce hounds the best player on the court to force him into mistakes or just forces him to pass the ball to make other players create offense. Trayce is a great teammate and is very coachable   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/01/Jayden-Stevens.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-754809" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/01/Jayden-Stevens-300x196.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="186" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="674423" first="Jayden" last="Stevens"] | Forward, Gonzaga Prep High School Jayden is a 6'7 quick, long, and athletic forward who can play inside and out. With his ability to shoot it from the outside, defenders have to respect his shooting and his post play. Jayden is crafty around the rim when catching the ball in the paint and has the ability to score, create for others, or draw a quick foul. Jayden will look to get an increased workload this year for the Bullpups and show that he’s ready for the challenge. Lastly, Jayden has a 3.0 GPA.       Conrad Bippes | Forward, University High School Conrad is a 6’9 200 lbs forward that has surprisingly shocking athleticism. Conrad is an active rebounder in the paint on offense and defense. If he catches an offensive rebound and isn’t boxed out, he is going to dunk it with two hands and you might as well move. Also seems to be in perfect help defense to block shots, and never takes a play off around the rim. Conrad knows his way around a classroom achieving a 3.6 GPA.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Ethan-Black-rotated.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1178795 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Ethan-Black-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1178946" first="Ethan" last="Black"] | Guard, Ephrata High School Ethan is excellent and making extra passes and moving without the ball. He is never standing around waiting for something to happen. Ethan is very aggressive getting into the lane and scoring or creating scoring opportunities for others. Quick first step! Good ball-handler who is good at keeping his dribble alive rather than always picking it up under small amounts of duress. Soft shooting touch and will knock down a catch and shoot or a shot of the dribble. To top it all off he doesn’t stress about the classroom while he holds a 3.5 GPA.
