6A: Roosevelt Roughriders – 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 Roosevelt Roughriders (6A) of the Portland Interscholastic League.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach: Jamarr Lawson (3rd Season at Roosevelt, 46-10 Record)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last Season's Record: 20-7</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":["1602195"],"_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-692f7d69611d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moreira, a 6-foot-2 combo guard, is one of the top athletic guards we saw today at the Portland Rise. He displayed his unique quickness and leaping ability to create opportunities in transition. Lucas also provided some high-flying circus shots at the rim, which got the crowd excited. (AG)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2747480"],"_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-692f7d6961266"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kim got a little time last season for Roosevelt but it's clear he'll have a much bigger role for the Roughriders in 2025-26. The 6-foot-3ish swingman was extremely bouncy and was able to wow the crowd with an impressive one-handed throw-down in traffic on one play. He also used his athleticism to compete on the boards and on defense, tallying 6 rebounds and 3 blocked shots to go along with his 13 points.

The 6-foot-3ish swingman is a smooth scorer, really capable of creating for himself off the dribble and finishing around the hoop, but also has a decent jumper from distance. He tallied 13 points on a variety of threes and drives to the hoop, while also dishing out a couple of assists and registering a couple of blocks on the defensive end.
