For the rest of this week, we will take a look at each individual roster, breaking down this huge crop of talent from around the Pacific Northwest, player-by-player.
Here’s a look at Team Three:
Nate Stiffler Nate Stiffler 6'4" | SF Thurston | 2025 State OR (2025 Thurston)
Stiffler is an appealing prospect in the class of 2025 due to his ability to shoot the three and guard multiple positions at 6-foot-5. Also possessing the ability to run the floor for easy transition buckets, Stiffler was featured on our “Top Shooters” list.
Jackson Owens Jackson Owens 6'3" | CG Cleveland | 2024 State OR (2024 Cleveland)
Owens is a do-it-all guy that flies around and plays hard on both ends. In his action at the expo, the junior displayed his strength and jumping ability as he earned a mention on both our “Top Athletes” and “Top Glue Guys” lists.
Atticus Kelly Atticus Kelly 6'1" | CG West Linn | 2024 OR (2024 West Linn)
Kelly proved to be a standout spot-up shooter as he knocked down a few open looks and played intelligent within the game flow.
Max Montgomery Max Montgomery 6'0" | CG Churchill | 2024 State OR (2024 Churchill)
At 6-foot-1, Montgomery possesses a strong frame that allows him to make hard attacks toward the basket. Additionally, the junior has the ability to hit the three.
Cade Jansen Cade Jansen 6'0" | PG La Salle | 2023 State OR (2023 La Salle)
Jansen was a high-effort true point guard at the expo, playing hard within a modest role.
Levi Bennett Levi Bennett 5'11" | CG Franklin | 2026 State OR (2026 Franklin)
Already featured on our “Top Freshman” list, Bennett plays with a non-stop motor that allows him to collect rebounds and loose balls at a high rate. Furthermore, Bennett was effective offensively for a freshman, knocking down a few jumpers at the event.
Jaylen Pankey Jaylen Pankey 5'9" | PG McDaniel | 2023 State OR (2023 McDaniel)
Pankey is a very shifty guard with explosive quickness and an unselfish play style that showed up at the expo. At 5-foot-9, the senior finished well over bigger players inside, and his role in his team’s playmaking earned him a spot on our “Top Passers” list.
Gary Le Gary Le 5'7" | PG Churchill | 2023 State OR (2023 Churchill)
Driving and dishing all day, Le was another of our “Top Passers,” playing a true point guard role for Team Three. The senior plays incredibly steady, rarely making miscues and picking his spots well on offense.
Jackson Leach Jackson Leach 5'10" | PG West Salem | 2024 State OR (2024 West Salem)
Leach has very impressive straight line speed, quickness to the rim, and outside shooting. With a solid handle and the ability to score from all three levels, Leach holds a ton of offensive potential.
John Marugg (2023 Liberty)
At 6-foot-6, Marugg was the tallest player on Team 3, which was made clearer by his activity on the boards. In transition, Marugg ran the floor well for a big, scoring buckets and making a couple nice passes on the break.
