Top 6A Teams in the State Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we getting closer to the girls basketball season in Oregon, we take a glance at some of the top teams in the Beaver State. Barlow looks to build upon a successful 2021-2022 campaign where they made it to the 6A state championship game. There they met a tough Beaverton team who has most possibly the toughest three seniors in the state. Clackamas has made huge strides within the last calendar year. Jesuit looks to made a huge statement, in due part to a new face in the program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Barlow </strong>- the main attraction of the Bruins is surely [player_tooltip player_id='158542' first='Kennedie' last='Shuler'], the soccer/basketball star - but do not sleep on their other pieces.  [player_tooltip player_id='158551' first='Annie' last='Koenig'] is a sharpshooter who plays with tenacity on the defensive end and the same can be said for [player_tooltip player_id='158563' first='Rilyn' last='Quirke'] who anchors the post.  Olivia Payne is a systems guard who can fill it in the lane and look for [player_tooltip player_id='251705' first='Haidyn' last='Sobella'] to make big strides as well.  [player_tooltip player_id='255262' first='Kylie' last='Ihrig'] is a developing guard who can be a spark plug off the bench.  The Bruins have flair and style offensively, but also can get it rolling defensively.  Look for them to be in the conversation amongst best teams in the state.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Beaverton</strong> - the Beaverton Beavers are playing with house money this season as they are the defending 6A champions.  The Beavers are led by Kathy Naro, one of the most brilliant basketball minds in Oregon.  The Beavs are headlined by the big trio of [player_tooltip player_id='158547' first='Madison' last='Naro'], [player_tooltip player_id='158567' first='Lainey' last='Spear'], and [player_tooltip player_id='158564' first='Zoe' last='Borter'] who all just signed to play Division 1 basketball.  Jaydin Lutu is a fearless guard who had some huge games last season and [player_tooltip player_id='503178' first='Faith' last='Meyer'] looks to be a utility type of player inside for Beaverton.  The Beavers play defense with such great synchronicity and have an enormously structured offense that is difficult for other teams to deal with.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Clackamas</strong> - the Cavaliers have made quite a splash within the national scene, as they were recently dubbed by SBLive to be a preseason top 25 team in the nation.  The ring leader is [player_tooltip player_id='833357' first='Jazzy' last='Davidson'], who has drawn attention from all major girls basketball publications and social media accounts - and for good reason.  The Mogel sisters (Rhyan, Reyce, Dylan) all play with an edge that is hard to match - well rounded players that can score, rebound, and pass.  [player_tooltip player_id='833518' first='Sara' last='Barhoum'] is a sharpshooter and [player_tooltip player_id='158558' first='Eliza' last='Buerk'] brings stability inside the paint.  [player_tooltip player_id='833579' first='Avery' last='Peterson'] is a point guard with flair and add transfer [player_tooltip player_id='833601' first='Allie' last='Roden'] in the mix and you have quite the formidable team.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>98 - the Crusaders are in your face, unapologetic, and have a certain attitude that is hard to match for other teams.  Coach Jason Lowery invigorates his team with enormous passion and you can really see it come alive offensively.  [player_tooltip player_id='158544' first='Emma' last='Sixta'] is the slick combo guard that has a great touch all around the court and [player_tooltip player_id='255257' first='Kendra' last='Hicks'] is the brute force down low.  [player_tooltip player_id='211119' first='Avery' last='Edwards'] is another shooting piece alongside the arc and Tessa Randall solidifies the Crusaders at the forward position.  Perhaps the straw that stirs the drink can be transfer [player_tooltip player_id='158538' first='Sofia' last='Bell'] - the highly skilled guard who plays with exuberance on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
