George Fox Elite Camp – Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>George Fox held its first of two elite camps this fall this past Tuesday and 17 prospects were led through instruction, drills, and game play by head coach Maco Hamilton, assistant coach Brendan Jones, and a handful of current Bruin players. We had the opportunity to drop by the last couple of hours of camp and here's a look at who we felt were the top performers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2575685' first='Njenga' last='Mungai'] (2026 Beaverton) </strong>- It's a very close call, but if we were to name an MVP it would be Mungai. The Beaverton senior guard simply made plays throughout all of the action as he often manned the point effectively finding open teammates, but was sharp with his outside shot both off the catch and shoot and pulling up off the dribble. He made smart decisions in transition and was cat quick on the defensive end both on the ball and playing the passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2053402' first='Cade' last='Hartenstein'] (2026 Westside Christian) </strong>- Hartenstein was our other top contender for MVP honors as the combo guard balled out on both ends of the floor. He was super aggressive getting downhill into the lane both in the halfcourt and especially in transition, and was supreme with his finishing at the hoop with either hand as he was practically unstoppable. The future Westside Christian senior played tough on defense too, putting pressure on opposing ball-handlers and creating turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949701' first='Dane' last='Edwards'] (2026 Canby)</strong> - Arguably the top athlete in camp was Edwards, as the 6-foot-5 forward showed that he could run and jump with the best of them. The Canby senior finished strong above the rim but also showed a really soft touch with his shot in the mid-range as he knocked down a variety of jumpers out to just within the three-point line. He utilized his length effectively on the boards and defensively in both the passing lines with steals and as a shot-blocking threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2462672' first='Robert' last='Southard'] (2026 West Albany) </strong>- There's a lot to like with Southard's game as he's a good athlete with length, and at camp he displayed his ability to score inside with a soft touch or knock down catch and shoot jumpers from three. The 6-foot-5 swingman got the job done with his rebounding on both ends and played opposing players tough whether it was bodying them up in the paint or guarding them on he perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2394397' first='Kross' last='Layton Martinson'] (2027 South Salem) </strong>- Martinson was a new face to us going into camp but the 6-foot-1 guard instantly caught our attention with his grittiness and hard-nosed play. The South Salem standout really looked at getting into the lane where he would often initiate and finish through contact at the hoop. Defensively he took on all comers and his physical style gave opposing ball-handlers fits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
