1st Team

Walsh who transferred in the off season from Sunset, had a monster year for Centennial, leading them to the state semifinals for the first time in school year. Walsh has shown the ability to score & rebound, but his passing ability & feel for the game are what have college coaches most intrigued.

Walsh was arguably Centennial’s most consistent player over their three games played, as the 6-foot-6 swingman averaged 13.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists for the Eagles. His passing in particular was critical as he posted a 4.7:1 assist-to-turnover ratio, which led all players in the tournament. The sophomore is super skilled and may get the opportunity to play point guard full time next season.

Centennial had to win the final 4 games of the season just to make the OSAA 5A state playoffs, but once they did, the Eagles pulled off the upset of the tournament so far by knocking off a West Albany team that entered as the 2 seed & on an 18 game winning streak. Walsh was huge in the road win scoring 28 points, with 18 of them coming at the free throw line.

Another player who’s benefitted from transfer, Walsh has gotten the opportunity to play more on the perimeter with Centennial this season and showcase his diverse skills. The sophomore is more than capable of burying shots from the perimeter while still using his physicality to score around the hoop too.

Walsh put together an impressive all-around showing, finishing with 16 points, 8 rebounds, and a game-high 6 assists. A transfer from Sunset, Walsh showcased his polished mid-range game, solid post-up ability, and athleticism, using his size and length to impact the game on both ends. He played within the flow, made the right reads as a passer, and consistently elevated his teammates. One of the top 2028 prospects in the state, he continues to prove he can influence the game in multiple ways.

After sitting out for a time due to rulings on his mid-season transfer to Centennial, Walsh has immediately been a major contributor with the Eagles. Playing at his future collegiate position on the wing, the 6-foot-6 sophomore has shown great touch on his perimeter shot while remaining a factor inside the paint with his height, length, and athleticism.
