6A: Beaverton Beavers – 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 Beaverton Beavers (6A) of the Metro League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach: Andrew Vancil (12th Season at BHS, 177-101 Record)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last Season's Record: 8-16</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":["2575685"],"_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-692b9f3d101dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's a very close call, but if we were to name an MVP it would be Mungai. The Beaverton senior guard simply made plays throughout all of the action as he often manned the point effectively finding open teammates, but was sharp with his outside shot both off the catch and shoot and pulling up off the dribble. He made smart decisions in transition and was cat quick on the defensive end both on the ball and playing the passing lanes.

He consistently made things happen off the dribble all night. Ahmed finished with 15 Points and 5 Assists in the game we saw him play.

The Beaverton junior didn't just spot up though as he also showed some ability to create off the bounce and outside of offense, he rebounded well for his position and did a great job passing too.
