Devin’s Standout Performances

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the season officially gets underway, I will be taking a look into the top performances of the games throughout the season and giving players who stood out on the court! Here's a couple from the first week or so of action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1451030' first='Vince' last='Strecker'] - ‘25 - Manson HS</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vince is taking on a bigger role for Manson HS and I personally think he's going to excel in that role. He's a fantastic shooter, having a quick, smooth release and great instincts. Strecker improved a great amount during the summer while playing for Central WA Select. During the first game of the season, Vince dropped 25 points (3/3 3pt) as well as 6 rebounds and 3 steals on the defensive side. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2375378' first='Ira' last='Smith'] - ‘26 - Archbishop-Murphy HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ira has been playing awesome in their first couple games of the season. He played last season at Ingraham as a freshman and is ready to step up in a bigger role. He's quick with the ball in his hands and is a natural athlete. He's a solid shooter and dropped 20 points with 3 three pointers against Blaine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1450954' first='Isaiah' last='White'] - ‘24 - Everett HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isaiah is a shifty guard who finds his spots very, very smoothly on the court. He's one of my favorite players to watch highlights with his creative ways to get to the hoop, hit shots smoothly, and show off his insane athleticism. White played very good against a tough Mount Vernon team, scoring 30 points grabbing 6 boards and 4 assists in the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1450561' first='Payton' last='Stewart'] - ‘24 - Kelso HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payton just finished his monster football season and is ready to dominate the court. He's a big framed player, standing 6'7” and weighing 280 pounds. There's very, very few players who can matchup against him which will lead to some big numbers in his games. He has a soft touch on the ball when finishing around the rim and again, is just a bruiser down low. He finished with 20 points and 19 rebounds against Mark Morris.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1450562' first='Jacori' last='Ervin'] - ‘24 - North Central HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacori is a 6'11” MONSTER on the court. He flies out of the gym, having insane athleticism for his size. He runs the lanes well as he is excellent in transition offense, where he's not afraid to dunk on anyone. He can play out on the wing solid too, having a steady jump shot. He has 18 points and 8 rebounds against Timberlake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
