If there were any lingering doubts about Maurer’s ability to hang with the best, they were finally silenced at the Northwest Shootout. The state Gatorade Player of the Year not only got tough buckets inside through contact but also stepped out and knocked down a couple of threes from up top. He finished with 16 points and a team-high 8 rebounds to go along with a handful of blocked shots as he heads off to Grand Canyon.

Breakdown: Maurer led the Challengers to their third-straight 3A championship but also proved himself against 5A and 6A schools in games at the Capitol City Classic and Les Schwab Invitational. The college coaches we polled felt the 7-footer had found a great fit at Grand Canyon, both on and off the basketball floor.

Size matters in the college game and especially after proving himself against top competition in the holiday tournaments, Maurer got plenty of love from the coaches with the second-most first place votes. One thing that most agreed was with his collegiate choice of Grand Canyon in terms of fit both on the court in terms of level and off the court personally.

The former #1 ranked player in the state, Maurer still checks in at #2 and rightfully so. The 7-foot senior is coming off back-to-back 3A state championships with Cascade Christian and a three-peat could cement his legacy as one of the all-time small school greats in the history of Oregon high school basketball. Playing with the Team Why Not this past summer, he got stronger and tougher as an inside presence on both ends while maintaining his shooting stroke from distance. Still undecided on his college destination, Maurer is still aiming at signing this fall.
