Top players in the Northwest Conference (2025 Class)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the PrepHoops Washington team has just completed the rankings update for the all classes. Here I will be taking a deeper look into all the rankings to see who the top players are within the Northwest Conference. Now I will start with the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2025 CLASS:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#18 - <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1984464' first='Talon' last='Jenkins'] </em>- Meridian HS - 6'7" wing who has been improving his strength and fluidness on the court. Jumper is elite and scores at all 3 levels smoothly, is a D1 talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#45 - <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1696692' first='Brant' last='Heppner']</em> - Lynden HS - Extremely strong in the paint, dominates against opposing players in the state. Has shown improved ball handling abilities and the capability to bring the ball down the court for the Lions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#54 -<em> [player_tooltip player_id='1587970' first='Gannon' last='Dykstra']</em> - Lynden Christian HS - Athleticism has gone through the roof over the past year or so. Overall game has gotten much more well rounded, has one of the best mid-range shots in the entire state. Will be the main guy for the Lyncs next season &amp; will thrive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#74 - <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1485653' first='Jaeger' last='Fyfe']</em> - Meridian HS - Jaeger's basketball IQ has continued to grow over the last year as he is taking better shots that are falling for him. He has an elite deep shot as he can easily knock down 4+ threes any night. Finishes well in the paint through traffic too, playing off 2 feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#95 - <em>Michael Johnson</em> - Mount Vernon HS - Michael is a shifty guard who has sneaky athleticism that shows when he goes 100% on the court. He has displayed fantastic vision on the court over the past couple seasons, while showcasing the ability to get to the rim well. He will be the main option for Mount Vernon next year, as Quinn Swanson has graduated.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#108 - <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1850307' first='Caden' last='Heutink']</em> - Nooksack Valley HS - Caden has the highest basketball IQ of any player in the Northwest Conference. He reads the defense quickly and effectively, attacking the weaknesses of what they give him. Heutink runs the pick and roll very well, coming off screens smoothly and always finding his open teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#133 - <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1485588' first='Brady' last='Ackerman'] </em>- Nooksack Valley HS - Brady is a big, big frame down low in the paint for the Pioneers. He is just as strong as anyone else in the state and will be extremely physical for Nooksack in the paint next season. Could be a double double guy a night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#165 - <em>[player_tooltip player_id='2458319' first='Timophey' last='Feskov']</em> - Burlington-Edison HS - Feskov has great size, standing at 6'7/8". He finishes around the rim smoothly and rebounds well as he can grab it high off the glass. He will dominate the NWC next season due to his height.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
