[player_tooltip player_id='1582973' first='Jemai' last='Lake'] showed why many consider him arguably the best player in the state of Oregon, delivering a dominant performance with a game-high 31 points. A dynamic slasher and true three-level scorer, he pressures defenses in multiple ways and plays above the rim with ease. Lake thrives under pressure, leading as both a floor general and vocal presence. He also rebounds well for his size, making his impact felt across the floor as a complete, high-level competitor.     Vialva Jr. proved to be a strong two-way presence in the backcourt, finishing with 18 points while impacting the game on both ends. A fast, competitive guard, he pressures the ball defensively and excels as an on-ball defender. Paired with Jemai, the duo forms one of the most dynamic backcourts in the state. Vialva competes on every possession and contributes offensively while remaining reliable at the free-throw line.     [player_tooltip player_id='2132783' first='Damian' last='Olvera'] may have finished with just 3 points, but his impact went far beyond the scoring column. A physical presence in the post, he dominated the boards and created constant problems for the opposing frontcourt with his toughness. Olvera runs the floor well in transition and even shows solid ball-handling ability for his size. With several rebounds and a relentless motor, he proved to be an underrated piece heading into the state tournament next week.     Pichon brought energy and scoring punch, finishing with a team-high 14 points. A flat-out scorer who thrives on competition, Pichon plays with high intensity and serves as a vocal leader on the floor. He shows a solid basketball IQ, rebounds well for his position, and can knock down shots from beyond the arc. He also contributed at the free-throw line, showing he can convert when given the opportunity.     [player_tooltip player_id='2539808' first='Ter'rae' last='Foster'] showed why he's a promising young guard. The sophomore combo guard is quick and versatile, capable of impacting the game in multiple ways. Foster knocked down shots from the outside and finished with 11 points, showing confidence as a scorer. He's also a good passer who sees the floor well, attacks the rim when lanes open up, and shoots effectively off the catch, making him a tough cover for defenders.
