Light the Game Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fourth annual Light the Game Combine was held this past weekend at Parkrose High School and many of the top players from the state were invited to participate. Ramsay Neu was in attendance at the event and chose these top standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427510"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae01dd0b9ac2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lockhart dominated mainly on offense, where his IQ really showed when handling the ball for his team. What cannot be overstated is his ability to create for others, getting to the rim and kicking it, showing off his great passing ability. Another thing Lockhart did was pick up full court every possession. His shooting was on display as well, carrying multiple triples and leading his team to a winning record on the day. Lockhart could be state player of the year in the coming season if all goes well for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2026486"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae01dd0b9b30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When watching Gates play the thing you notice the most is his ability to get to the rim. The word I would use to describe his slashing play style is slippery, because it always looked like his defender had cut him off. That did not stop him from still getting downhill and finishing through traffic. His hustle was also noticeable, and it seemed like he was pressuring the rim every possession. Look for Gates too lead Parkrose to what could be another state championship in the coming year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132803"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae01dd0b9b87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The most notable thing about Hudson all day was how vocal he was. He was constantly calling things out to his teammates and leading by example. He's a really good ball handler that gets downhill at will, using his running back like frame to finish through contact. His passing also was on full display, constantly pushing it up full court for the easy layup. It seemed him and Lockhart were an unstoppable duo when in the game. Look for Richad to lead Benson into another big year in the PIL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2699125"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae01dd0b9bdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walsh is usually a wing, but with a smaller team he was forced to play the Bigman, and did not disappoint. He played his role to perfection, getting boards and rolling to the rim for some monster 2 hand jams. You'll notice watching him how quick of a decision maker he is, dishing it quickly to his teammates. His shooting ability was also on full display, as he would pop and sink it from deep. Defensively he was solid, getting a nice block and also staying in front is his man and moving well laterally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2910097"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae01dd0b9c24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Norris really impressed me with his ability to crate for others and himself, getting downhill all day. He definently led everyone at camp in free throw attempts, which is a testament to the pressure he put on the rim. He's a strong defender too, as he likes to get up into his man and try to poke the ball out. The other thing that impressed me was his passing ability, as he was a very quick decision maker who loves to hit a cutter as he got into the paint. Look for Norris to have a big year at Parkrose.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2026062"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae01dd0b9c67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's undeniable that Barahoum has range, as he hit more logo 3's on the day then the rest of the camp combined. He also was showing good defensively effort, at one point diving into the stands to try to retrieve a loose ball. As a movement shooter he constantly put pressure on his guy to stay up on him, and that gave him chances to attack downhill as well as find his teammates. Look for a big year from Barhoum and Clackamas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
