<p>The first-ever Silverton Holiday Tournament took place this past weekend and we made a trip down to watch some of the action. In all, we watched five of the eight teams in attendance play live in person, including eventual champ Skyview (Wash.) twice. Here's a look at some of the top performers we saw.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1685505' first='Malakai' last='Weimer'] (2026 Skyview)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If we had a pick for MVP of the tournament it would have been Weimer, who averaged 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists over the three days. In the team's opener he largely created off the dribble and finished at the basket, but in the finals he showed he could also step out and drain the three when open, hitting three from deep. His diverse skills and athleticism along with his 6-foot-4 size proved to be a tough matchup for opponents on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p><strong>Landon Webb (2025 Skyview)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Webb was arguably the top perimeter shooter at the tournament. In the team's opening win over Liberty, the 6-foot senior knocked down five threes - including two clutch from deep late in the game to both tie and give the Storm the eventual lead. He knocked down three more in the finals, but also showed the ability to create a bit off the bounce and get to the basket for a team-high 21 points.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2458315' first='Ryan' last='Hanson'] (2025 Skyview)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The third of the triple-threat that helped the Storm capture the tournament title, Hanson had a great game in the final. He posted 17 points, hitting a three, but mainly got his points off tough drives into the lane and finishing, often through contact. He's got some length at 6-foot-4 and his willingness to get physical helped give his team some advantage on the defensive end.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2458212' first='Ryder' last='Grieb'] (2025 Summit)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We first noticed Grieb in spring and summer ball and it was good to see how things would translate during regular season play. He's a good athlete at 6-foot-6 and in the final game against Skyview, showed the ability to finish strong inside but also step out to the perimeter to either knock down the open jumper (one three) or create off the dribble. He finished with 15 points and 7 rebounds.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2519149' first='Will' last='Manfredi'] (2025 Summit)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Manfredi's performance in the final was solid - 10 second half points on a combination of a couple of threes, another bucket, and two free throws - but earlier in the tournament he posted 21 and 23-point performances. The 6-foot senior is a hard-nosed, no-nonsense kind of competitor who isn't afraid to drive amongst the trees and try to finish. His toughness allowed him to help out on the boards and he's a willing passer as well.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1770295' first='Will' last='Jenson'] (2025 Caldera)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jenson would be an All-Tournament selection from the third place game, as the 6-foot-8 post absolutely dominated the competition. He used his length and soft touch in the lane to finish a number of post moves, and did so even when he was double teamed and he was able to find an opening. The senior stepped outside to face up and hit a couple of jumpers, including a three, and was a presence on the boards to post 25 points and 9 rebounds. He is currently unsigned.</p>

<p><strong>Seb Fievet (2025 Caldera)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The definition of a glue guy, Fievet did a lot of the little things that helped win ball games in Caldera's victory over North Eugene in the third place game. The 6-foot junior helped out with the ball-handling duties and let the game come to him, whether it was getting the entry pass into Jenson, moving it elsewhere, or taking his defender off the dribble to get into the lane for himself or a teammate. He had 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2744991' first='Jordan' last='Gray'] (2026 North Eugene)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Seeing Gray was one of those situations where we knew very little going in but after a few buckets, we were scrambling for the roster sheet to see who is this guy? The 6-foot-4 wing is a creative and crafty scorer, who can hit the deep shot but may be better at attacking off the dribble and using a number of moves to get his shot off against defenders. As he gets stronger, he'll be even more dangerous. He finished with 22 points in the third place game.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2348788' first='Tavian' last='Womack'] (2025 Liberty)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Womack scored 20+ points in all three games over the weekend, and got off to a fast start with 24 points in the Falcons' opener against eventual champ Skyview. The 6-foot-1 guard posted 24 points at all three levels, driving to the hoop and finishing over bigger players, but also knocking down mid-range jumpers and the three from deep. The tallest regular contributor on the team at 6-foot-1, Womack is asked to play bigger than his size and his athleticism and effort level helps him do that effectively.</p>
