<p>This year's PrepHoops Oregon Freshman Showcase took place at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA and many of the top in-state players and beyond from the Class of 2029 took the court to compete against one another in some very spirited competition. We had the opportunity to watch the action from start to finish, and after conferring with a number of other observers in attendance have come up with our All-Camp Teams - five members each on the First and Second Team. We start things off with the First Team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">At 6-foot-2, Ainsworth was one of the top guards at the Freshman Showcase. The lefty guard stood out with his ability to facilitate in transition, making high-level plays on both ends. Whether diving for loose balls or delivering sharp assists, the incoming Marshfield freshman consistently elevated his team's energy and execution. (AG)</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The #2 ranked player going into the event, Hopkins-McGloten lived up to billing as a smooth scorer, capable of knocking down deep threes or creating off the dribble and finishing around the hoop with either hand. The 6-foot-4 wing probably made getting buckets look easier than anyone else on the court and should be an immediate contributor at Benson. (JT)</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Norris stood out as a long, athletic shot-maker who could score in a variety of ways on Sunday. The 6-foot-2 guard handled the ball comfortably for his size and consistently looked like one of the most polished all-around players on the floor. He'll be at Parkrose this upcoming season. (JN)</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the top athletes in the event, the 6-foot-3 Powell made a statement by dunking from the jump during drills. He capably used his strength and length to get to the basket for scores but also showed a smooth jumper from three-point range, and didn't just shoot either as he was a factor on the boards and handed out a number of assists. The incoming freshman comes into Banks as potentially already one of the top players in the state at the 3A level. (JT)</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ranked #1 in Oregon's Class of 2029, Smith lived up to the hype. The incoming Reynolds freshman can score at all three levels, is a good athlete, and plays unselfishly. Paired with Ainsworth, he formed one of the showcase's top duos, showing excellent awareness cutting to open lanes and finishing strong at the rim. (AG)</p>
