<p>The final Class of 2023 rankings have been completed and there are a handful of new additions that made the list, thanks to their outstanding senior seasons.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's a quick look at who was added:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908895' first='Kaleb' last='Burnett'] | SF | Junction City - #65</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 4A player of the year helped lead Junction City to the state tournament in their last appearance for legendary head coach Roethenberger. Burnett is a versatile and athletic forward that can do damage both inside and out and has drawn the interest of NWAC schools.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908896' first='KuVarie' last='Davis'] | PG | Parkrose - #68</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5A's leader in assist per game at 6.0, Davis is a pure point guard who blew by defenders all season long off the dribble and found Parkrose's perimeter shooters open for threes. A hard-nosed defender, he was one of the top guys in the state in steals as well. He has been getting NWAC interest.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908897' first='Cole' last='Beardsley'] | CG | Philomath - #76</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beardsley earned First Team 4A All-State honors after leading Philomath to the #1 rankings and the state tournament finals. He's a hard-nosed guard with good size that competes on both ends of the floor. He's been in deep discussions with OIT about a spot next season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908898' first='Tanner' last='Jones'] | PG | Redmond - #78</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jones manned the point for a talented Redmond team that made a 5A state tournament run, and picked up the pace when star center [player_tooltip player_id='1382415' first='Evan' last='Otten'] was out due to injury. He ended up finishing the year as one of 5A's leading assist men at over 4.7 dimes dished per game.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1909917' first='Drew' last='Satterhwaite'] | PF | David Douglas - #85</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Satterthwaite came up big his senior season, anchoring the paint for a David Douglas team that was rebuilding in some sense but still made the playoffs after getting off to a fast start in the pre-league schedule. He's a solid high school post with good footwork and a soft touch around the hoop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1910023' first='Dylan' last='Geske'] | PF | Milwaukie - #97</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Milwaukie was guard-oriented this year with [player_tooltip player_id='962734' first='Logan' last='Law'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1382425' first='Kaden' last='Harris'], but Geske proved to be a solid third option in the post. He has good size at 6-foot-7 and a nice touch on his face-up jumper, which stretches out to just inside the three-point line.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908900' first='Christopher' last='Doke'] | PG | Bend - #103</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bend had a solid run into the post-season in the ultra-competitive Intermountain Conference, and Doke was a key part of that success. The senior guard was steady at the point, looked to make plays for others, and hit open shots.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908296' first='Ben' last='Kitzhaber'] | PF | North Eugene - #112</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kitzhaber anchored the middle for a North Eugene team that surprised many by capturing the Midwestern League title. He played his role well despite being a bit undersized and was a factor with his rebounding (6.7 rpg) and interior defense (1.4 bpg).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908901' first='Nate' last='Greenburg'] | CG | Hidden Valley - #113</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We honestly didn't get the opportunity to watch Greenburg in action this season, who had a good senior year leading Hidden Valley to the post-season. He's signed with NAIA Simpson University in California, which warrants him being added to the list for sure.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908902' first='Evan' last='Good'] | PF | Silverton - #148</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Obviously undersized in the paint at 6-foot, Good was still amazingly effective for Silverton with his smarts, craftiness, and toughness.</p>
