Oregon Team Camp – Top Performers (II)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team camp at the University of Oregon took place in late June, and many of the top teams in the state - especially from Central and Southern Oregon - came into Eugene to compete. We had the opportunity to drop by on the last day to take in some of the action. Here's a look at some of the top performers we got a chance to see (Part II).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2747499' first='Anthony' last='Fuentes'] (2026 McNary)</strong> - One thing we've always noticed about Fuentes is the all-out effort he puts on the floor and the confidence that he plays with. The 5-foot-11 rising senior looked to attack on the offensive end, both for himself (12 points) and for his teammates (4 assists). He showed good tenacity with his on-the-ball D, using his soccer footwork skills to stay in front of his assignment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2048285' first='Traeger' last='Healy'] (2026 North Medford)</strong> - One of the toughest competitors we saw on the day was Healy, who at 6-foot-2 is certainly not one of the tallest guys around but he more than makes up for it with strength, motor, and willingness to sacrifice his body. This helped the rising senior get some tough putbacks inside off some offensive boards but he also showed some skill by stepping out and hitting some open jumpers. He finished with 17 points and 5 rebounds in a Black Tornado win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Quinton Ritchie (2026 South Medford) </strong>- A lot of things will be done by committee at South Medford this upcoming season as head coach James Wightman has a balanced squad, but his returning all-conference player Ritchie will man the point. He was the steady hand for the Panthers in their win over Del Norte, effectively setting the table for his teammates while getting a few points of his own to keep the defense honest. 10 points and 5 assists when it was all said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1747849' first='Elijah' last='Schmidt'] (2027 Sprague) </strong>- With Sprague's graduation losses, Schmidt will be counted upon heavily for his scoring and that was on display at the game we watched at team camp. While the 5-foot-9 guard's three-point shot wasn't totally clicking, he adjusted by getting to the hoop for scores, using his ability to scoop shots over taller opponents once he was in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2428771' first='Lane' last='Isham'] (2027 Sprague) </strong>- One of the top big men we saw on the day, Isham put up an impressive performance in Sprague's narrow loss. He was efficient around the basket with a soft touch on his shot, and was able to create contact and get to the line for free throw opportunities. The 6-foot-8 rising junior was effective on the glass on both ends and served as a rim protector on the defensive end, finishing with three blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chimi Gilbert (2027 Trinity Christian) </strong>- We couldn't have asked for a better game - and finish - to wrap up camp as Trinity Christian beat Grants Pass on a fast break, pull-up three at the buzzer from Gilbert. The highlight reel capped off what was a nice performance from the rising junior, 17 of his own points while also dishing out a handful of assists as he headed up the Saints offense at the point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132942' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'] (2027 Grants Pass)</strong> - Tough game that was decided on the aforementioned buzzer beater, but Rosetta did his best to keep the Cavemen in competition. We're pretty convinced there may be no better all-around rebounder than the rising junior, who could not be kept off the glass on both ends as he not only used his strength and athleticism, but knowledge of positioning and motor to get boards both in and out of his area. He paced the Cavemen with 23 points and 10 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
