We were able to check out the semifinals and finals on Sunday featuring Churchill, Sheldon, Grants Pass, and West Albany. Here are a few standouts from Sunday’s action:
Mason Bennett Mason Bennett 6'4" | SF Grants Pass | 2023 State OR SF 6’4″ Grants Pass 2023
Bennett is a big, strong, all around player for the Cavemen. He consistently showed a willingness to stick his nose in and do the dirty work on the glass and defensive end. Offensively, he is a good passer and showed flashes of finishing ability.
Bugsy Jensen Bugsy Jensen 6'1" | CG Churchill | 2023 State OR (2023 Churchill)
Jensen has been a top player for the Lancers all spring and continued on Sunday afternoon. He is a defensive stopper for the perennial powerhouse. On the offensive end, he was shifty and finished at the rim consistently. He also showed great court vision and kicked the ball ahead in transition.
Carsen Luna Carsen Luna 6'2" | CG Churchill | 2023 State OR G 6’2″ Churchill 2023
The crafty guard had a breakout game in the semifinals vs Sheldon. Luna was able to create off the dribble both for his teammates and himself. Once he gets to the rim he creates contact and finishes well. Defensively, he was very active and disrupted passing lanes.
Gavin McLean Gavin McLean 6'3" | SF Grants Pass | 2024 State OR SF Grants Pass 6’3″ 2024
McLean was a driving force for the champion Cavemen. He showed a great handle and quick first step. He is a great slashing style finisher.
Luke Morgan Luke Morgan 6'3" | SF Grants Pass | 2024 State OR SF 6’3″ Grants Pass 2024
Morgan was a catalyst for the Cavemen all weekend. He plays a physical style that is typical of Grants Pass teams. He is a great athlete and showed fantastic bounce on an alley-oop finish in the final.
Zach Stapleton Zach Stapleton 5'9" | PG Sheldon | 2024 State OR PG 5’9″ Sheldon 2024
Stapleton has been a stalwart for Eric Orton’s program this spring. He rounds out an impressive Sheldon backcourt with Owen Cramer Owen Cramer 5'10" | PG Sheldon | 2024 State OR and Rocco Graziano Rocco Graziano 6'1" | PG Sheldon | 2025 State OR . His ability to provide solid ball handling and basketball IQ was evident all weekend.
Kamani Winger Kamani Winger 6'5" | PF North Eugene | 2024 State OR PF 6’5″ Sheldon 2024
The Sheldon big man showed some real flashes of what could come in the Southwest Conference this year. He consistently established deep post position against both Churchill and Grants Pass. His ability to track down offensive rebounds and convert is elite.
