5A: Parkrose Broncos – 2025-26 Season Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the high school season approaches, rosters are being released and I'm going to be previewing each team from the 6A and 5A levels. I'll go over each team's key players going into this coming season, list the returners/newcomers, and key departures. Here is the preview of the Parkrose Broncos (5A) of the Northwest Oregon Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach: Kendrick Williams (1st Season at Parkrose)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last Season's Record: 10-14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Players</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1582927"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693bd00cab453"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another guy who could have a good argument for number one is Montague, who will be settling in at a new destination for his senior season at Parkrose. As a junior at Roosevelt last season, he was a first team All-League pick and his ability to both score and distribute from the point will be key for a Broncos squad looking to shock the world of 5A hoops. The 6-foot lefty remains a D-I recruited player and is a candidate for 5A Player of the Year honors.

He's grown a couple inches to 6-foot-2 and his ability to get buckets from all three levels and play both on and off the basketball will give the head coach Kendrick Williams plenty of options in the backcourt.

He averaged 20 plus points per game in the Wilsonville Invitational Tournament, and contributed some as a solid rebounder as well. Jayden made some nice shots from mid-range and also displayed good poise in transiton.
