Richland has had a great season this year, going 16-0 during league play. He has been growing his game throughout the season and has been working on improving the little things. His size at 6-foot-10 for a post help him make an impact inside the paint, and he’s learned how to use that size throughout last AAU season and this season. His strong rebounding ability is game-changing and does really well in a half court offense. He plays calm and stays locked in throughout.
As I have said before and will continue to say, I believe Beckett is one of the top shooters in the entire state, regardless of class. He hits the ball extremely effectively and can hit 3/4 feet beyond the line. He is quick off the dribble and gets to the rim nicely. He can facilitate his offense really well too, always willing to make the extra pass.
Parker is a player who has been a leader for this Olympia team for a few seasons. He is headed to Washington State University next year to play basketball and he is definitely capable of playing at that level. Gerrits is a dynamic point guard who can score from any spot on the court. He’s a vocal player, taking on the leadership role with his play and his voice.
Highlights
Zoom is arguably the best player in the entire state. He took over for Curtis last year, leading them as a sophomore to a state title. Diallo is quick on the court and gets to the bucket very well. He attacks with force and finishes through or around traffic with ease. He hits his shots very consistently, especially when open. He could easily help the team go back to back.
Nahmier is a new addition to this Skyline team who benefitted greatly to adding the Robinson brothers to the team. Dylan Reilly Dylan Reilly 6’6″ | SG Skyline | 2023 State WA and Caden Culver Caden Culver 5’10” | PG Skyline | 2024 State WA have both stepped up to have huge years for this Skyline team. Robinson is crafty with the ball and knows how to get his teammates involved with ease. He hits his deeps shots very consistently and can do so off the dribble or off the catch.
