<p>Sheldon High School concluded its annual summer tournament on Sunday and 16 varsity teams were at Sheldon and Bushnell University to compete for the crown. The final featured the host Sheldon Irish and the Grants Pass Cavemen. Grants Pass came out on top and took home the title. Here is our All-Tournament team:</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1480858" first="Cooper" last="Case"] (2023 Churchill)</strong></p>
<p>At least one college coach was showing major interest in the Lancers senior swingman. Case set the tempo for his team all weekend. He has a real motor and is not afraid to mix it up on defense and on the glass. Any shot that was remotely close to him was challenged. Another new wrinkle that we saw this weekend is an ability to decelerate and finish around the rim.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1110574" first="Owen" last="Cramer"] (2024 Sheldon)</strong></p>
<p>The Irish has a very strong backcourt and Cramer is an anchor running their offense. His jump shot looks really good and he has college range. Cramer was also able to get to the lane at will and finish with a nifty spin move. He plays under control and provides a calming presence on a young Irish squad.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1368250" first="Rocco" last="Graziano"] (2025 Sheldon)</strong></p>
<p>Graziano is the other member of the solid backcourt duo for the Irish. He hit four triples on Sunday and showed off a devastating stepback. The crafty guard can use his big frame and tight handle to create oceans of space for mid-range jump shots. He also showed a willingness to sacrifice his body and took a big charge in the semifinals.</p>
<p><strong>Ivan Isley G 6’1" Grants Pass 2024</strong></p>
<p>Isley has an advanced offensive game. His ball handling is smooth and he protects the ball well. The most impressive move is his one dribble pull up around the elbows. He was able to get to his spots whenever he wanted. He shot the ball well for the Cavemen en route to the title. Isley also has a little swagger to his game that comes out on the defensive end and in his interaction with his teammates.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1483410" first="Brysen" last="Kachel"] PF 6’2" West Albany 2024</strong></p>
<p>The all state tight end had a breakout game against Summit on Saturday and continued to play well on Sunday. The combination of his skill and rugged style is hard to defend against. His shot mechanics are solid and it would not be surprising to see Kachel extend his game beyond the three point line. Defensively, Kachel is an anchor for the bulldogs and will draw some tough assignments this year.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1315390" first="Jackson" last="Polen"] (2023 Grants Pass)</strong></p>
<p>The senior guard was phenomenal for the Cavemen all weekend. He played the lead guard superbly and showed elite court vision. Polen passed up many good opportunities to create great opportunities for his teammates. He played under control all weekend and really showed that he could play off of two feet. Defensively, he was the best on ball defender of the tournament and really set the tone on that end for the eventual champions.</p>
