Cali Denson Cali Denson 5'7" | SG Milwaukie | 2022 OR 2022 5’7” SG Milwaukie HS – Cali is a household name due in part to her scoring capabilities as she crossed the 1,000 point mark as a sophomore last season.

Denson’s dynamic ball handling skills also come into play as her overall resourcefulness results in astonishing passes while the attention is all on her. She is truly a one of a kind player whose game also translates to 5.7 assists per game.
Halle Hageman Halle Hageman 5'6" | SG Mountainside | 2022 State OR 2022 5’6” SG Mountainside HS – Halle has a nose for the highlight play, as she is a dynamic playmaker that defenders assert a lot of attention to. She uses her shiftiness to get to the rim and dump it off to an open teammate, due to the double teams that she attracts. Hageman averaged 4.2 assists per game last season, as a point guard who plays at a downhill pace, constantly pushing the ball and making the defense work. She can score off the dribble with flair, she can hit the big shot, but she can also make the behind the back pass to an open teammate.
Peyton Gardner Peyton Gardner SG Bend | 2022 State OR 2022 5’6” SG Bend HS – Peyton is a defensive specialist who digs down on defense and comes up with the steal, leading the Lava Bears into their transition set. She has tremendous foot speed with the ability to slow down the game to her pace, thanks to the fact that he is also a soccer star. Gardner led Bend with 6.8 assists per game, with a season high of 11, as she truly knows how to thread the needle, making it her job to distribute to her teammates. She is aggressive with the ball and constantly is aware of the position of others.
Charlotte Richman Charlotte Richman 5'7" | PG Wilson | 2022 State OR 2022 5’7” PG Wilson HS – Charlotte is a smooth, fluid, poised guard that can truly do it all on the floor. She gets to her spots aggressively and has a great feel for where others are and dishes it off exceptionally. Charlotte routinely makes the right passes, whether it’s to the corner for the open shot or a dribble penetration pass to the open player near the rim. This helped her average 6 assists per game last season, as a complete floor general who plays at a confident and significant pace with the innate ability to help others score.
