Section 7: Oregon Teams and Players to Watch

<p>The Section 7 Event takes place this weekend in Glendale, Arizona and college coaches from around the country - including those from NCAA Division I - will be in attendance at the 12 courts placed in State Farm Stadium to watch the action. Three teams from the state of Oregon will be in attendance and here’s a quick look at the top players these coaches will likely have their eyes on as they evaluate their future recruiting classes of 2023, 2024, and 2025.</p> <p><strong>Lincoln</strong> - the Cardinals are the biggest team in the state and should have the size to matchup against opponents in Arizona. Head coach Heather Seely-Roberts’ twin sons lead the way. [player_tooltip player_id="962928" first="Moroni" last="Seely-Roberts"] (24.2 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 3.9 apg) is a 6-foot-6 forward who has the physicality to get buckets in the lane but is also able to step out and either hit the three or create off of the dribble. Brother [player_tooltip player_id="962929" first="Malachi" last="Seely-Roberts"] (14.0 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 6.0 apg) runs the point at 6-foot-8 and can really stroke the ball from downtown (.409 3pt%). Manning the middle is [player_tooltip player_id="861088" first="Graham" last="Eikenberry"] (12.4 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 2.1 bpg, .671 fg%) who is not only highly efficient inside but plays with passion and runs the floor well for a big man. If that weren’t enough, rising 6-foot-9 junior [player_tooltip player_id="1383114" first="Evan" last="Heisler"] (3.1 ppg, 1.4 rpg) will also be one to watch - he got valuable experience playing on the EYBL 16U circuit with the Rose City Rebels in the spring.</p> <p><strong>Cascade Christian</strong> - The defending 3A champions will have a group of guys that not only include their returning players but a couple of others from the region. Rising junior big man [player_tooltip player_id="1110567" first="Austin" last="Maurer"] is one of the top players in the state at any class and at 6-foot-11 he is versatile enough to step outside and make plays from the perimeter. There is no question a number coaches from D-I will be watching closely on the sidelines. The two newcomers to this particular team that will also garner attention will be rising 6-foot-10 senior big man [player_tooltip player_id="1310064" first="Egan" last="Shields"] (10.0 ppg, 7.1 rpg, .567 fg% at Ashland) and 6-foot-3 combo guard [player_tooltip player_id="1110808" first="Boden" last="Howell"] (15.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.7 apg at South Medford).</p> <p><strong>Lake Oswego</strong> - Head coach Marshall Cho brings his Lakers squad to the desert unfortunately missing a couple of his top guys who will be out due to injury - rising sophomore [player_tooltip player_id="1276627" first="Winters" last="Grady"] and rising senior [player_tooltip player_id="1256637" first="Max" last="Archambo"] will both be on the sidelines. Without those two the squad will be relatively inexperienced but they will unquestionably take the bull by the horns. Senior guard [player_tooltip player_id="1262126" first="Owen" last="Alles"] leads the way and some younger players such as rising juniors [player_tooltip player_id="1110756" first="Zane" last="Fisher"] and Aengus Sutherland will certainly be ones to keep an eye on.</p>
