It's past midnight and all of the scoresheets we received have been processed (we believe). A gentle reminder that there is a single person doing all this work and it requires a lot of time that takes away from other things such as family.
BREAKING NEWS: The first member from the Class of 2020 in Oregon has made a college commitment. Kaelan O'Neil of Churchill informed
@PrepHoopsOR
that he has committed to Eastern Washington
The 2024 NCAA Tournament field has been set and among the former Oregon preps playing include the last 4 Gatorade Oregon Players of the Year:

Our player of the game is none o the than
@KibongeRawlins
. He flirted with a triple double with 24 points, 21 rebounds, and nine blocks. He also dished out 3 assists.

@HillJrTerrence
. He scored 38 points on 10-17 fg, 5-9 3pt, 13-14 ft. He also pulled down 5 rebounds and dished out 4 assists.
Pretty incredible to see the crowds at the
@LSInvitational
, with so many there to get a look at a particular high profile out-of-state player.
Perhaps that same 🔥 can be brought the rest of this season for a player that has proven to be BETTER than this player? Maybe? 🤨
🚨 NEWS ALERT 🚨
We are waiting on the final stats but we just heard that
@DylanDouang
exploded for 52 points and 18 rebounds tonight for Benson against

Happy to announce that

has been certified by the NCAA! Division I institutions are permitted to subscribe to this service for the sport of men's basketball.
On Tuesday night we were treated to at least 4 buzzer beaters, overtime games, and it took a second half run by LSI champ and recently nationally ranked West Linn to thwart an upset bid.
No national teams or hype over sons of NBA players needed - get out and see these kids play!
Player of the game and unanimous pick for the all-tournament team was
@pearsoncarm2024
. The
@summithighhoops
did his thing all game with his scoring as always with 27 points, getting buckets from all three levels. Now a state championship to add to his resume.
Seriously folks, I've had enough and I'm not going to 🤬 around any longer. I'm more than happy to BLOCK and I have no idea how to unblock, so once you are gone you are gone.
Don't care about missing game recaps, Twitter spaces, polls, etc?
Your loss, not mine.
Leading the way for Oregon in scoring was
@jadensteppe
. The
@MensTualatin
senior and 6A Player of the Year finished with 22 points, which included 4 threes and 3 rim-rattling dunks.
A couple of former
@CCHoopsPdx
standouts are making waves at
@SwordsMBB
so far this season. Isaac Amaral-Artharee is leading the team in scoring (16.8 ppg) while
@DeRaySeamster
has been the top scorer off the bench (8.3 ppg).
Not as old school as some, but definitely more so than many.
Kevin Love, Lake Oswego
Kyle Singler, South Medford
Maarty Leunen, Redmond
Terrence Jones, Jefferson
Dominic Waters, Grant
Jeremiah Dominguez, South Salem
2002-08 was a special time in Oregon HS boys hoops.

Coaching Hire: Roosevelt has named Jamarr Lawson the new boys basketball head coach.
Lawson has previously served as an assistant coach with the Roughriders. This is his first stint as a head coach in Oregon.
Unconsciously put this on this morning before going on a hike. Why? Clearly because right now is when the best HS tournament in the world usually takes place, the
@LSInvitational
. Definitely missing it in 2020.
We recently bumped into
@JacksonShelstad
and the
@WLBoysHoops
sophomore is looking great. The now 6-footer has put on some muscle, has been working out with
@SteveBlake5
, and has been talking weekly to a number of Pac-12 schools. He remains open in his college recruitment.
Big offer in for
@bengregg
as he's confirmed with us that
@ZagMBB
has put one on the table.
Gregg is set to announce his college decision on September 9th.
