Five Spectacular Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We take a look at an ensemble of guards that will carve out huge roles for their respective teams next season. [player_tooltip player_id='345111' first='Abigail' last='Winslow'] put up some impressive numbers on the big stage at Gill Coliseum at the 5A State Tournament. [player_tooltip player_id='256229' first='Audrey' last='Meek'] is a point guard who plays with stature and structure. Darissa Romero-Ah Sam has the makings of a superb point general. [player_tooltip player_id='833579' first='Avery' last='Peterson'] is the blistering guard who adds a depth of impact for Clackamas. [player_tooltip player_id='502348' first='Charisma' last='Johnson'] plays with certainty and poise for Jefferson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='345111' first='Abigail' last='Winslow'] 2025 5'9" PG Crater HS - Abigail certainly had a coming out party at the 5A State Tournament in Corvallis as she had tremendous stat-lines all over the board. High motor player who is very much so cerebral but the best thing about her is how much she plays downhill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='256229' first='Audrey' last='Meek'] 2024 5'8" PG Southridge HS - the younger Meek is a point guard traditionalist who makes all her teammates better by pushing the ball and finding others in opportune situations. She ignites and fuels her team through her team play and it is a catchy tune.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Darissa Romero-Ah Sam 2026 5'6" PG Springfield HS - the freshman is a mini-clone of her sister, Danaeja. An enticing point guard who has the ability to create plays for herself and others based on her spatial awareness and quickness alone. Three-level scorer who has a burst speed difficult to defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='833579' first='Avery' last='Peterson'] 2025 5'5" PG Clackamas HS - Peterson is a slick guard who has the agility to blow past you but also the intelligence to make witty plays appear out of thin air. Her magician-like play was huge for Clackamas this past season. With graduations looking over, look for a bigger role next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502348' first='Charisma' last='Johnson'] 2025 5'8" SG Jefferson HS - although Charisma nurtured an injury mid-season, she came back just in time for playoff action. Johnson is a fierce two-way player who plays with much upside. Has a knack for getting into the paint and finishing with exuberance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
