The second half of Richland’s dynamic duo, Horntvedt scored the third-most points in the tournament, and he often did so in a pretty demoralizing manner. The 6-foot-8 guard was maybe the most unique player in the tournament, with his ability to play with strength and power inside, and his potent midrange game that included turnarounds and pull-up jumpers over tight defense. It was simply too much to ask a team to defend both him and Northrop. Horntvedt also took on some key defensive roles, including matching up with Parker Mills Parker Mills 6'6" | PF West Valley-Yakima | 2026 State WA in a key battle in the quarterfinals.

Horntvedt was just too much for the Rams inside the arc, going 9-for-11 on twos with a handful of dunks and shots in close, but also mixed in a couple of midrange shots where he just elevated over the defense. His size was a factor on the defensive end too, where he matched up with Parker Mills Parker Mills 6'6" | PF West Valley-Yakima | 2026 State WA and helped contain the Rams’ big man to just four made field goals.

Horntvedt has continued his ascent from last season; he has nine 30+ point games and two 40+ point games, while maintaining a 55.7 field-goal percentage. At 28.2 PPG, Horntvedt is leading the MCC in scoring, and he’s also second in the league in rebounding (9.0 RPG) and assists (4.1 APG). He has helped Richland to an undefeated 17-0 with four games remaining in the regular season.

Horntvedt was a big contributor last season for Richland, averaging 22.9 points and 7.4 rebounds across all games last season. His size and athleticism allow him to play all over the floor offensively, and he’s continued to show improvements with his jumper and ability to get to his spots this summer. He’s picked up offers this summer from Montana, Montana State, and the University of San Francisco.

Has had a great spring and summer and continued to elevate his play at the Battle in Seattle. Was strong getting to the middle with some drives from the wings and corner. Used his size and strength once he had the edge on defenders to power up and showed some nice soft touch finishing with defenders beating down on him. Continued to show improvements with his dribble, not just getting to the rim, but creating separation for jumpers and using various moves to get that first step advantage on the perimeter.
