<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 3rd annual Best of the Best Tournament will take place this year from May 30-31 at Reynolds High School where once again 8 teams representing all the leagues in 6A and an all-star team from 5A will battle it out to see who is the best conference in the state of Oregon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've reached the mid-way point of league play and a number of seniors have established themselves as firm nominees for the roster of their leagues. The Mt Hood Conference has yet to reach the finals and this could be the roster that takes them to that level. Here are some of the seniors have stood out as top nominees for this year's roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1978342' first='Maddox' last='Young'], Barlow<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2026792' first='Robbie' last='Long'], Central Catholic<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2411676' first='Donovan' last='Miller'], Central Catholic<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1585573' first='Jalen' last='Nicholson'], Central Catholic<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1582928' first='Zamir' last='Paschal'], Central Catholic<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2245263' first='Syrius' last='Owens'], Clackamas<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2393221' first='Keyvontae' last='Hillerich'], David Douglas<br>Luke Reeves, David Douglas<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2880548' first='Jackson' last='Satterthwaite'], David Douglas<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1653212' first='Kareem' last='Artharee'], Gresham<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2120416' first='Levi' last='Gaither'], Gresham<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1582934' first='Jeremiah' last='Pichon'], Gresham<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2470697' first='Chaz' last='Katoanga'], Nelson<br>Zadon Richardson, Nelson<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1671255' first='Eddie' last='Szabatin'], Reynolds<br>Justin Brenner Sandy<br>Jasaih Cochran, Sandy<br>Hayden Harding, Sandy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Analysis: The Mt Hood Conference has always had the ability to fully compete at the Best of the Best but this could be the year the league has the depth and talent to compete for the championship. There's a great group of seniors available for this year's team, starting with the likes of Long, Miller, Nicholson, and Paschal at Central Catholic. If they are all available to play, they'll be hard to stop. There's no question there is plenty of size with a number of players standing 6-foot-5 or taller including Nicholson, Owens, Satterthwaite, Artharee, Richardson, and Szabatin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
