Wilsonville Invitational Tournament – Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wilsonville Invitational Tournament took place from December 6-8 and we had the opportunity to drop by and watch a number of games, including the full final day on Sunday. Here's a look at some of the top performers we saw over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1368276' first='Cole' last='Hammack'] (2025 Wilsonville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If there was an MVP, Hammack would have been the pick. The senior guard was unstoppable offensively, scoring at all three levels, and saved the best for last by dropping 30 points in the finals win over Ashland. Not that we had any doubts, but the adjustment to the higher 5A level of play has clearly been seamless and Hammack remains one of the best finishers in transition for smaller guards in the state. Far from a selfish player, he set up teammates as well. It's early but he's unquestionably a prime candidate for First Team All-State and 5A Player of the Year honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2457187' first='Michael' last='Ratcliffe'] (2028 Wilsonville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The era of "Big Mike" is in effect as Ratcliffe is one of the best true big men we've seen come up in recent years. The 6-foot-8 freshman had a coming out party at the Wilsonville Invitational as he set up strong in the post, finished strong around the hoop, and was a real factor on the boards on both ends of the floor. He ran the floor well and was rewarded with his first career dunk (while getting fouled) in the finals against Ashland. As productive as he was this past weekend, there's still so much more room for growth and improvement and the future is extremely bright.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2297386' first='Jacob' last='Boss'] (2025 Wilsonville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The third top player from Wilsonville this week was Boss, who has settled into a role as a secondary scorer on the wing. The 6-foot-3 senior found his groove slashing to the basket and finishing in creative ways, but also was capable of hitting open shots. He's long, lanky, and reasonably athletic and should find himself with a number of double-figure scoring games as the season comes along. He tallied 15 points in the championship game win over Ashland.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2348779' first='JoJo' last='Harrower'] (2025 Ashland)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harrower had a relatively quiet game in Sunday's final - but the all-around of 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists didn't go unnoticed. His overall play the entire weekend caught the attention of many, mainly because of the combination of his 6-foot-6 height, athletic ability, and ball skills playing the point guard spot. He could create for himself and others getting to the basket and showed some next level vision and passing skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1726569' first='Ian' last='Pearson'] (2025 Redmond)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great all-around point guard play the entire weekend for Pearson, whose game on Sunday was indicative of how things went for him during the tournament. In the third place game, he posted stats across the board - 11 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 5 steals, and even a blocked shot that drew raves from observers. Despite his smaller height at 5-foot-8, he exudes toughness on the defensive end and doesn't back down from anyone, even players much bigger than him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2458223' first='Kaleb' last='Losoya'] (2025 Redmond)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top shooters the entire weekend, Losoya had his shot on automatic the final day of the event. He knocked down five catch and shoot threes, using his quick release to get shots over incoming defenders. Where Losoya also impressed was he wasn't just a standstill shooter - the senior guard made and converted a couple of nice drives to the basket with floaters over bigger players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2354384' first='Wyatt' last='Horner'] (2026 Redmond)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A well-built wing, Horner used his physical stature and willingness to absorb contact to get a number of baskets around the hoop. He finished with a team-high 19 points in Sunday's third place win in Wilsonville, which also included some solid shooting from mid-range on out. An active defender, Horner fronted the Redmond press which helped lead to creating a number of turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2244057' first='Naoli' last='Besha'] (2025 Centennial)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite the loss to Mountain View, Besha had a productive final day at the Wilsonville Tournament. The senior forward was extremely active on the glass on both ends, finishing with a game-high 11 rebounds, and was also an intimidating factor defensively with four blocked shots. Offensively, he added 8 points all in the first half.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539884' first='Aazzee' last='Breaux'] (2027 Centennial)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's easy to love the potential of Breaux as he possesses great overall length and high-level athleticism. His pull-up jumper in particular looked smooth, with its high release very difficult for defenders to reach. The sophomore ended up sharing the team-high in scoring with 13 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
