2025 Rankings Update: Top players in the NWC

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the PrepHoops Washington team has just completed the rankings update for the 2025 class, with the rest of the classes coming soon. Here I will be taking a deeper look into the rankings to see where the players within the Northwest Conference fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#2</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1485542' first='Davis' last='Fogle'] (Anacortes HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a top prospect within the entire 2025 class. He is gathering attention of Division 1 programs, and rightfully so. He is a lengthy guard who can handle the ball at a high level, rarely making mistakes. Fogle is relied on quite a bit with this Anacortes team but he handles it very well. He can score at will, being able to drop 30+ a night with ease. He's great at creating space off a crossover dribble, being able to have just enough time to get his shot off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#41</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1696692' first='Brant' last='Heppner'] (Lynden HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brant is a big framed post who is going to have an increasing role on the team next season during his junior year. During last year he displayed a tremendous motor and did a great job at attacking the rim for rebounds. He was a rebounding machine and I don't think much will change headed into next year. He showed an improved jump shot last season from mid-range. He will need to improve his outside shot, if he wanted to play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#63</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1984464' first='Talon' last='Jenkins'] (Meridian HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talon has bursted onto the scene the last couple months, having a big time AAU season over the course of the summer. He has great size, standing at 6'4". He could be the main scoring option if needed but with the Trojans having Fyfe as well, they both work-off each other well. His long arms hep him a lot on the defensive side of the ball, tipping a ton of passes in the passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#71</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1485653' first='Jaeger' last='Fyfe'] (Meridian HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaeger has been the main guy at Meridian for the past 2 seasons and has evolved quite a bit on the court. He has improved his overall offensive game and has great lateral movement for the defensive side of the ball. Fyfe is a team first type of player, not caring who gets the bucket or who has the big game, as long as the team gets the win. This upcoming season will be a big one for Jaeger.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#96</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1485588' first='Brady' last='Ackerman'] (Nooksack Valley HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brady is definitely a football player first, but he excels on the basketball court as well. He has a big frame and matches up very well with the rest of the competition within the Northwest Conference. He rebounds very well, being relentless in getting the ball off the rim. He has amazing footwork down low, thanks to his impressive work on the offensive and defensive lines for football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#109</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1587970' first='Gannon' last='Dykstra'] (Lynden Christian HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gannon is going to have a big role next year with most of the key role players from the Lyncs team over the past 2 seasons are graduated and moved on. He is a smaller guard who will have to rely on energy and instincts on the court. Both of which he brings every single game. He's a passionate player who can shoot the three very well. It will be interesting too see the ball in his hands more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>#115</strong> - [player_tooltip player_id='1850307' first='Caden' last='Heutink'] (Nooksack Valley HS)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caden has an improved summer too, showing tremendous growth during the AAU season and the High School summer league play. He creates space well, attacking with his right hand at a high rate. He could improve on his left hand, but you can tell he has been doing so. Heutink will have the ball in his hands every time down the court, being the main ball handler, facilitator, and scorer. We will see how he handles the workload, I think he will do a great job.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
