5A Players to Watch Out For

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oregon girls high school basketball has a plethora of talent at all classifications and levels - we decided to take a look at some talent at the 5A level. [player_tooltip player_id='834062' first='Rylee' last='Lemen'] and Brynne Bailey are two integral pieces of a Rex Putnam team looking to make their way back to Gill. [player_tooltip player_id='832572' first='Ava' last='Bergeson'] and Emma Buchanon are two integral pieces for La Salle who look to compete not only in their league play but as well as within the entire State. [player_tooltip player_id='158553' first='Allie' last='Mead'] is a diligent guard who plays with a pace that is difficult for others to match for Canby. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='834062' first='Rylee' last='Lemen'] 2023 6'0" PF Rex Putnam HS - the fantastic volleyball player is also a force on the court, as she is an aggressive piercing forward who makes her way into the paint but also can score at three-levels. Fierce competitor and defender. Also a talented high jumper in the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brynne Bailey 2024 5'9" SG Rex Putnam HS - sharpshooter who plays with an edge offensively, as she knows how to get the better of her defender. Has a sixth sense for scoring, plays with a certain exuberance that can be difficult to match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='832572' first='Ava' last='Bergeson'] 2026 6'0" PF La Salle HS - a super frosh to watch, Bergeson is an athletic versatile player who uses her skills and length exceedingly well on the floor. Great timing on the boards and around the paint as an interior defender. Natural facilitator and a blossoming scorer offensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emma Buchanan 2023 5'9" PG La Salle HS - talented point guard for La Salle who is a talented soccer player, she uses her discipline and high motor in one sports for the other. Floor general who has great court vision, can decipher what the defense gives her and doesn't force the issue. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='158553' first='Allie' last='Mead'] 2023 5'5" PG Canby HS - not much has changed for the point god for Canby, except that she is now giving trouble to the 5A classification level. Blistering quick guard who is shifty and gets into the paint at will, makes her teammates better and defends with tremendous effort. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
