California Live Championship Day: Top W/F

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO — Sunday at San Juan Hills high school marked Championship Day of the Boys California Live event and we were on hand for most of those games. Below we break down the top wings, forwards and big performers from the various championship games we watched.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956471' first='Brannon' last='Martinsen'] | 2026 | JSerra</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martinsen didn't have a huge game from a statistical standpoint but his impact was felt throughout the game with his versatility on both ends of the floor. The 6-foot-6 forward was effective as an inside-out scoring threat, rebounder, passer and creator for himself and teammates. Martinsen's multi-positional defensive acumen was on full display as he checked guards on the perimeter and battled on the glass inside in JSerra's win over Redondo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956520' first='Brayden' last='Kyman'] | 2026 | Santa Margarita</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyman continued to show that he is one of the most skilled forwards in the state. The Washington State-commit scored 23 points in the Eagles' close loss to Harvard-Westlake and the opposing defense struggled to find a way to stop him because of his ability to score in a variety of ways. The 6-foot-8 rising senior is a consistent floor stretching shooter to the three-point line who can also score out of the mid and low posts with his combination of footwork and touch around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2436266' first='Chris' last='Sanders'] | 2027 | Redondo Union</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Redondo went down big early in its loss to JSerra but Sanders led a valiant comeback attempt and finished with a team-high 25 points. The 6-foot-3 lefty is one of the most effective transition and paint scorers in the state as he uses his combination of strength, physicality, body control and savvy finishing ability to finish around the basket at a high clip.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2131780' first='Christian' last='Collins'] | 2026 | St. John Bosco</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collins was back in the mix with Bosco after missing Section 7 and his presence alone made the Braves a much more versatile team on both ends of the floor. Bosco took down Crespi despite the 6-foot-8 wing not having his best offensive game. Collins finished with 13 points in the win but it was his 18 rebounds and four blocked shots that helped the Braves pull away in the second half.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956502' first='Dominique' last='Bentho'] | 2026 | Harvard-Westlake</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bentho's production will be a key factor in Harvard-Westlake's pursuit of a Mission League and Southern Section championship and if his performance Sunday was any indication, he's in a position to be an impactful interior presence. The rising senior finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds in the Wolverines win over Santa Margarita and Bentho's ability to score around the rim, clean the defensive glass and be a physical interior defender will be crucial to Harvard-Westlake's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1703096' first='Elias' last='Obenyah'] | 2026 | Salesian</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Obenyah should be rising up the recruiting boards of Division 1 programs across the country after his efforts during California Live. The 6-foot-5 wing has a simple but efficient and effective all-around game and his ability to stuff the stat sheet on both ends of the floor will make him a valuable piece at the next level. Obenyah was credited with 18 points, eight rebounds and four assists as Salesian took down Notre Dame in overtime and his defensive impact as the perimeter anchor and go-to stopper was evident down the stretch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
