The makeshift Les Schwab Invitational field had no shortage of talent this week. Today, we highlight the top performers of the final day of play, ending with the evening session: [player_tooltip player_id="1276626" first="Isaac" last="Carr"] (2025 Central Catholic) Carr, a 6-foot-2 standout freshman, knocked down 3-of-6 three-pointers on his way to a game-high 14 points in a blowout win over David Douglas. A capable teammate, Carr tallied three assists and displayed an impressive sense of poise for a freshman. The shooting guard is definitely one to watch in the future. [player_tooltip player_id="1232162" first="Christian" last="Green"] (2023 Cleveland) In a tight win in the fifth place game over Jesuit, Green exploded for 16 second-half points, including a variety of difficult finishes and a pair of three-pointers. The junior combo guard finished with 20 on the night and wrapped up all-tournament honors along the way. For an impressive Warriors squad, Green was the primary difference-maker on Thursday. [player_tooltip player_id="861090" first="Jackson" last="Cooper"] (2023 Cleveland) Cooper played a lot bigger than 6-foot-5 on Thursday, posting a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Although the junior big man didn’t block a shot, his length and activity on the defensive end made his presence felt. Additionally, Cooper’s body control and ability to finish inside were impressive. [player_tooltip player_id="857368" first="Connor" last="Hills"] (2022 Barlow) For a Bruins offense that really struggled all night, Hills was a lone bright spot, recording 16 points and 2 rebounds in a loss to Beaverton. The 5-foot-9 senior played with impressive pace, doing damage with his jumper from all over the floor. For a small point guard, Hills possesses tremendous range and defends well. [player_tooltip player_id="964546" first="Trevon" last="Hamilton"] (2022 Beaverton) The senior leader for Beaverton closed LSI out with a bang, scoring 17 points on only eight shots as the Beavers coasted to a big win. Hamilton played with a blinding confidence on Thursday, bouncing energy off his teammates as they built a lead over the Bruins in the first half and captured the third place trophy. [player_tooltip player_id="1197477" first="Max" last="Elmgren"] (2024 Beaverton) Elmgren was a standout shooter on Thursday, burying two threes on the way to a team high 18 points. The stud sophomore possesses a quick release and the ability to change a game from the outside. [player_tooltip player_id="857354" first="Noah" last="Ogoli"] (2022 Tualatin) Although the Timberwolves lost big in the Championship game to a loaded Link Academy team, Ogoli did his best to keep the local underdogs in the ball game. The senior combo guard shot 10-for-19 on his way to a game-high 24 points, knocking down numerous big shots in the second half to help trim the lead. In addition, Ogoli recorded five assists and was easily the most consistent at dealing with Link Academy’s pressure and athleticism on defense.
