Hunter Calloway Hunter Calloway 6'2" | SG Squalicum | 2027 State WA – Squalicum HS – Hunter was the best freshman in the conference last season, averaging roughly 15 points a game and shooting about 40% from the field. Calloway gets to his mid-range shot nicely and can rise above defenders to get his shot off. He was a focal point in the Storms offense already, so expect to see him more in the coming years.
Kaden Veldman – Lynden Christian HS – Kaden didn’t get many minutes on the varsity level as he sat behind Jeremiah Wright Jeremiah Wright 6'6" | PF Lynden Christian | 2024 State WA and Kayden Stuit Kayden Stuit 6'4" | PF Lynden Christian | 2024 State WA . Veldman is a strong 6’2″ post who finishes very nicely around the rim and has been improving his footwork as he gains knowledge from Wright and Stuit. Veldman will have a big summer with Team360Hoops.
Quincy Tanovan Quincy Tanovan 5'7" | PG Sehome | 2027 State WA – Sehome HS – Quincy is a bit undersized for the varsity level but his work ethic helps him earn minutes for Sehome as a freshman. Tanovan is a phenomenal shooter from deep, being able to sink shots 3 feet behind the three point line. He grew in height, standing roughly at 6’0″ now but does need to gain more body weight and have a stronger right hand to really catch college coaches attention.
Dane Ackerman – Nooksack Valley HS – Dane is a strong post presence for the Pioneers. He played alongside his brother, Brady, as they both compliment each other nicely. Dane knows how to box out with great technique, being a monster on the glass. He is working on his mid-range and deep shots to make his game more well rounded.
Dawson Hintz Dawson Hintz 6'0" | PG Lynden Christian | 2027 WA – Lynden Christian HS – Dawson is another freshman in the NWC who did play some minutes at the varsity level. He is a 6’0″ guard who can shoot lights out from deep but is also a threat to put the ball on the floor and get to the bucket. He controls the pace of the game well, having a high IQ for the game. He is going to be a much bigger part of the Lyncs team next year and will be a name to knwo
