Performances that caught my eye

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the season officially gets underway, I will be taking a look into the top performances of the games throughout the season and giving players who stood out on the court! Here's a couple from the first week or so of action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1612357' first='Parker' last='Eiswald'] - 2024 - WF West HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parker is a gritty guard/wing who gets to his spots smoothly. He attacks nicely with both hands and his game looks more well rounded early in his senior season so far. He dropped 24 points and 12 rebounds in a game against Rochester, early in the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1450563' first='Jaxon' last='Dubiel'] - 2024 - Mountlake Terrace HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxon is a shifty guard who can play at a high level on both sides of the ball. He moves his feet very well on defense, staying in front of opposing players consistently. His offensive game has improved since last season, he knocks down his shots from midrange and deep at a high rate. Athleticism has improved too, as he threw down multiple dunks. He dropped 30 points against Marysville Pilchuck.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1450985' first='Legend' last='Smiley'] - 2025 - Garfield HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Legend is an incredibly special player. Being one of the top 2 players in the entire 2025 class within the state of Washington, and even being nationally ranked within the country. Legend scores at all 3 levels arguably better than anyone else in the state. He has a lights out jump shot and can finish around the rim athletically with ease. He dropped 40 points, with 6 threes, against West Seattle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2310184' first='Lincoln' last='Niemi'] - 2027 - Hoquiam HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lincoln is a special talent within the 2027 class. He's just now getting started at the HS level and it looks like he will be a high level player for the years to come. He has a lights out deep shot, sinking 9 threes in his varsity debut. Niemi went on to score 42 points, dish out 6 assists, and pull down 5 rebounds. He played a spectacular game for his first HS game ever.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1450954' first='Isaiah' last='White'] - 2024 - Everett HS</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isaiah has been playing amazing so far this season. He is leading this Everett team with his smooth offensive game. He gets to the hoop nicely with either hand but can stop on a dime to pull up for a jump shot with ease. He's a teammate first player, always finding his open teammates and spreading the love throughout everyone. White dropped 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
