Spokane Legacy Red jumped out to a 16-6 lead, as Oregon Elite struggled to find any forms of consistency. Their biggest anchor for them during this time was a spirited Kilyn Dawkins Kilyn Dawkins 6'0" | PF Southridge | 2021 State OR , who showed a lot of fight in the paint, as a physical force who is not afraid to mix it up in the lane. She finished with 3 points and 6 rebounds.
In the second half, it was a back and forth manner, as several different players found Allie Hueckman on the perimeter for scores. On back to back possessions, Reese Ericson hit Hueckman in the same spot along the arc for three-pointers. On the following Oregon Elite ball, Addie Reardon hit Allie Hueckman for yet another three. If they were to come back, it would’ve been all upon the shoulders of Hueckman, as the Eastern Washington signee scored a game high 19 points to go with 4 rebounds.
Along the last few minutes of the game, it was Anna Dazey Anna Dazey 5'7" | PG Corvallis | 2021 State OR ’s turn to provide some late game heroics for Oregon Elite. In a trip to the free throw line, she sank two points from the charity stripe in a calm fashion. After, Reese found Dazey along the arc for a much needed three-pointer. Dazey then found Dawkins inside, as she was fouled. Rearson got a key offensive rebound and was fouled, sinking one of two. However, the comeback just wasn’t enough as the Spokane Legacy Red ran away with this one, 44-37.

Allie Hueckman: Lethal scorer
Throughout stretches during their first two days in Idaho, Oregon Elite has looked no further than Allie, who is a tall, fluid perimeter player who is incredibly balanced when she jumps on shots, and raises up to the opportunity and sinks some huge shots for them. Versus Spokane Legacy Red, she had back to back to back three’s that single handedly kept them in the game. Hueckman is an elite shooter who isn’t afraid to let it go and is incredibly effective on the isolation front as she gets a lot of leverage while she is in the air taking jump shots.
Playmaking Guards
Upon a closer look, one would notice that Oregon Elite 17U Gold has the trio of Addie Readon, Reese Ericson, and Keelie O’Hollaren Keelie O’Hollaren 5'10" | SG Lakeridge | 2023 State OR of Lakeridge HS, as they have brought their hint of consistency with them to this ball club. All three have great synergy together, as they are all team oriented players that look for others in scoring positions. They have brought that energy to Oregon Elite and have yielded a lot of positive results. Add Anna Dazey Anna Dazey 5'7" | PG Corvallis | 2021 State OR of Corvallis, the high energy, pass first guard who likes to throw the ball up the court in order to catapult the offense.
Brute Defensive Forwards
Kilyn Dawkins Kilyn Dawkins 6'0" | PF Southridge | 2021 State OR and Lindsey Wilson Lindsey Wilson 6'0" | PF Mountainside | 2022 State OR are two of the most physical forwards in the State of Oregon, as they combine their solid frame with an uncanny intensity and effort. They both rebound at an excellent rate, as they know how to establish their presence in their paint using their body. Scoring inside is also facilitated on this frontier, as they know how to command a certain presence in the paint using their body and are certainly not shy about initiating contact to score.
