28.5 League “The Bubble” Session V: All-Oregon Team Part 1
In this article:
At Session V of the 28.5 League, we continued to see contributions from Oregon players from Oregon clubs – as we were also introduced to some new faces. Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR of Clutch Rose continued to show the patented point guard tendencies of the Naro family – a steadfast and relentless point guard type. Molly Block Molly Block 5'2" | SG Jesuit | 2021 State OR of Clutch Cardinal was a dynamic point guard with tremendous upside as a scorer. Katelyn Heideman was a newcomer for Oregon Elite Gold who didn’t waste any time – filling it out from three-point land. Syd Burns continued to dominate the floor as a blistering quick point guard patched with great skill. Emma Sixta Emma Sixta 5'10" | SG Jesuit | 2023 State OR was another stand-out who continued to show-off her cerebral play.
Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR 2023 5’10″ PG Clutch Rose/Beaverton HS – The instructive point guard had another prolific weekend as a steadfast and skilled leader for Clutch Rose. Versus a highly skilled PHH squad Naro chipped in 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists – as a relentless guard who finds ways to involve her teammates from the tip-off. Naro can also score when it is her turn, but she is certainly the traditional point guard blend who plays at an exceptionally calm pace.
Molly Block Molly Block 5'2" | SG Jesuit | 2021 State OR 2021 5’5″ PG Clutch Cardinal/Beaverton HS – She showcased her uncanny ability to score from the floor as she is a fearless scorer that shows a lot of skill and heart. Her 20 point performance versus New Mexico Clippers Red was perhaps her trademark game of her weekend, as she shot 60% from three-point land, sinking three out of five and had 14 points in the first half alone. Block is an electric point guard who scores a lot of skill points – and with flair.
Katelyn Heideman -2022 5’4″ SG Oregon Elite Gold/Hermiston HS – Heideman is a newcomer for Oregon Elite Gold out of Hermiston – but she didn’t shy away from the limelight as she made her presence known out of the gates. She sank four three-pointers versus New Mexico Clippers for all of her 12 points. Heideman doesn’t need a lot of touches to be effective and makes her opposition pay for leaving her the slightest bit open.
Sydney Burns Sydney Burns 5'8" | PG Wilsonville | 2021 State OR 2021 5’9″ PG Oregon Elite Navy/Wilsonville HS – The UC Davis commit has some serious game, as she is perhaps one of the top point guards on the West Coast – time-in, time-out she has shown the ability to propel her team over obstacles through her high motor play alone. Versus Clutch Rose she contributed a sensational 17 point, 6 rebound, 6 assist effort as she is a triple double threat night-in, night-out based on her hard work and merit alone.
Emma Sixta Emma Sixta 5'10" | SG Jesuit | 2023 State OR 2023 5’10″ SG Clutch Rose/Jesuit HS – Sixta continued to progress and show her vast abilities as a guard – one with upside as a perimeter shooter as well as solid defender alongside the arc. Against Oregon Elite Navy she produced a significant 6 point, 2 rebound, 2 assist effort as a guard with considerable length matched with great skill. She showed the ability to sink the stationary three-pointer and be a difference maker on the defensive end.
