Continue ReadingIn the final session of the extravaganza known as the 28.5 League “The Bubbie” in Arizona, we were shown an outstanding six teams in the 17U/2021 bracket of competition from the Beaver State. In some situations, Oregon teams clashed (Clutch Cardinal versus Oregon Elite Gold & ABA versus NW Stars Navy) whereas other scenarios showcased huge West Coast brawls (Oregon Elite versus San Diego Waves & NW Stars Navy versus Cal Sparks Gold). Nonetheless, tremendous showing were illustrated by players from Oregon over the span of the two days with huge efforts and performances. Truitt Reilly Truitt Reilly 6'1" | PF Silverton | 2021 State OR was truly (no pun intended) a defensive stopper all weekend long, saving her best for last in a final sequence versus a Cal Sparks squad. Cali Denson Cali Denson 5'7" | SG Milwaukie | 2022 OR continued to show her dominance on the floor as a poised and creative scorer who plays at an excellent pace.
Maddie Naro is another line of the Naro guards who instills a lot of familiar characteristics at the point guard spot. Addie Reardon Addie Reardon 5'9" | SG Lakeridge | 2021 State OR had a great showing as an all-around guard with determination and grit. Avery Peterson is one of the youngest players on NW Stars White but has a lot of skills at the point guard spot well beyond her years. Sarah Lamet Sarah Lamet 6'3" | C Tigard | 2022 State OR has continued to up the ante as a collected center with immense size and length to go with her interior scoring abilities. Kelsie Siegner was a new face for a decorated Oregon Elite Navy club but fit right in as a productive forward with significant work ethic.
Truitt Reilly Truitt Reilly 6'1" | PF Silverton | 2021 State OR 2021 6’1″ PF NW Stars Navy/Silverton HS – Truitt had a commanding weekend as a defensive force and stopper, the one scenario that gave the precise depiction of this was the Cal Sparks’ last possession in which Truitt stopped 6’6” Clarice Akunwago with some disciplined defensive tactics. Using her long wingspan, Reilly didn’t commit a foul and grabbed the board as the NW Stars came up with the one point victory. She had several games with multiple blocks as her effort versus the Sparks was indicative of her weekends effort with a 4 point, 6 rebound, 3 block performance.
Cali Denson Cali Denson 5'7" | SG Milwaukie | 2022 OR 2022 5’7″ PG ABA/Milwaukie HS – Cali has had a big summer as anyone else, as the prolific shooter/scorer from Milwaukie has recently received offers from Tulsa and Eastern Washington. Her pacing in game and gotten tremendously better as she plays within a structured game plan and as a result has excellent looks from deep. Versus NW Stars, Denson sang to a tune of 20 points, 2 rebound, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal – sinking four from alongside the arc including two 25 footers.
Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR 2023 5’8″ PG Clutch Rose/Beaverton HS – Maddie is a player that can make significant contributions without attempting a shot or scoring a point as a game manager – one that plays at a calm and collected pace, which is exactly her job for Clutch Rose. She is very disciplined and structured in her demeanor towards the game of basketball, which makes sense in her family lineage (older sister Mary Kay is at Boise State). Naro turned in a 4 rebound, 4 assist game versus a tough Arizona Elite game and was counted on all weekend for such efforts.
Addie Reardon Addie Reardon 5'9" | SG Lakeridge | 2021 State OR 2021 5’9″ SG Oregon Elite Gold/Lakeridge HS – Reardon is a consistent all-around player who takes pride in the small things as a poised defender as well as crafty scorer. She can take you inside the post with some brute strength as well as hit alongside the perimeter. Versus San Diego Sol she showcased all of these abilities as she hit two alongside the arc and showed off her offensive versatility. Reardon contributed a 12 point, 2 rebound effort versus Sol as all weekend long she was one of the offensive leaders for Oregon Elite Gold.
Avery Peterson 2025 5’5″ PG NW Stars White – Avery is one of the two precocious 2025 talents as a cerebral guard that has great twitchy speed but also the ability to cognitively make precise decisions at the drop of a pen. Whether it is taking the defense in transition and throwing a last second dazzling pass or stopping on a dime for a three, Peterson has everything you need in a floor general. She is amongst the leaders for NW Stars White as a fundamental point guard with dazzling upside.
Honorable Mention
Sarah Lamet Sarah Lamet 6'3" | C Tigard | 2022 State OR 2022 6’4″ C Clutch Rose/Tigard HS – Sarah is a developing center as the first thing you notice about her is her sheer size at 6’4”. Perhaps her most impressive performance of the weekend was versus Arizona Elite in which she subbed in huge minutes for teammate Lainey Spear Lainey Spear 6'2" | PF Beaverton | 2023 State OR and showed some impressive ability. Versus an athletic Elite team she showed some fundamentally sound back to the basket moves as well as a nice touch alongside the block. The Tigard native contributed an efficient 6 point effort in a game that was very much of a drought.
Kelsie Siegner 2022 5’10” SF Oregon Elite Navy/Crane HS – Siegner is a newcomer for Oregon Elite Navy hailing from Crane High School – as she helped them obtain the OSAA 1A State Championship last summer. Siegner is a refined forward with great playmaking abilities as a rebounder and interior scorer as one of her first games for Oregon Elite was a pleasant surprise in the form of a 6 point, 5 rebound, 2 assist effort versus an athletic EBO 17 3SSB team. Siegner has a lot of upside as a high motor player who makes plays on the floor and is highly productive.
