Having been more of a main option previously this summer, with star guards Braylon Gaines Braylon Gaines 6'0" | PG Nelson | 2027 State OR and Jaydon Schregardus Jaydon Schregardus 5'11" | CG Nelson | 2027 State OR both in action, Cantwell settled just as nicely into a support role. In an intense win over Ridgeview, the rising senior wing was still dropping threes and getting other buckets inside the arc as well. When the dust settled, he finished with 17 points.

Another shooting star on the day at the Happy Rock Tournament was Cantwell, who had his jumper fully locked down. The rising senior was deadly from deep, hitting six threes, but was also hitting from the mid-range and also using the dribble to create for himself and getting finishes around the hoop, especially in transition. Cantwell has been one of the top perimeter shooters in the state that most people haven’t heard of but as a primary scorer this upcoming season for the Hawks, that will obviously change. He finished with 32 points.

Cantwell showed why he’s considered one of the top juniors in the Mt. Hood Conference. A confident, streaky shooter with deep range, he played with poise and knocked down five three-pointers on his way to 17 points. Cantwell also held his own defensively, rounding out a strong two-way performance.
