For senior Donatello Tupper Donatello Tupper 6'4" | SF Roosevelt | 2022 State OR , it was particularly special. The smooth 6-foot-5, 185-pound swingman was one of the senior leaders for the team and to say he was the start of something special for future Roughriders is something he’ll never forget.
“We changed history,” Tupper said. “It’s been a good group of guys and we made a run. It didn’t end the way we wanted but at least we came and won sixth place.”
Tupper was a big part of the success. On the year he averaged 12.9 points and 4.4 rebounds, proving himself as a devastating finisher in transition while also showing the ability to knock down open perimeter shots.
“I feel it went really well as I think this might have been my best season,” Tupper said. “I’ve got a lot of coaches talking with me so I’m ready for college.”
Tupper now turns his attention towards his college recruitment, one in which he noted some Division I schools have been in touch as well as quite a few junior college programs, notably Clackamas, Mt Hood, and Edmonds. Whether he continues to play club ball as an unsigned senior or starts taking recruiting visits, he’s keeping it open for now.
“Wherever I go, I know it’s going to make me great,” Tupper said. “I’m still thinking a bit over playing in the spring.”
Tupper currently ranks as the #6 player in the PrepHoops Oregon Class of 2022 rankings.
