The 5-foot-8 shooting guard and Metro League Player of the Year had a productive spring session playing against competitive grassroots teams in big tournaments across the nation. Mangan starts for NW Greyhounds and has a green light to shoot and read the floor. She stood out as the top player from Oregon at the Battle in the Emerald City, a tournament showcasing top teams in the Pacific Northwest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["832650"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68476203329db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='713147' first='Oregon' last='Elite'] 5-foot-8 shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='832650' first='Mariah' last='Bailey'] consistently knocks down the catch-and-shoot three in transition and the half-court set. Her ability to hit from long distance forces defenders to close out on the perimeter, stretching the defense for her team to take advantage. She makes the right read to find the best shot, whether to launch from behind the arc after the catch or beat the defender inside on the bounce and drain the deep two with a quick release. The Cottage Grove junior (2026) can bring the ball up against pressure, she's a good passer, and she works to get open. Bailey is a focused defender with good on-ball pressure and off-ball position to deny the pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921538"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6847620332a3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='837906' first='Maurice' last='Lucas Lady Enforcers'] 5-foot-8 [player_tooltip player_id='921538' first='Maaya' last='Lucas'] gets to her spot inside on the bounce and creates her own look with a controlled turnaround jumper. She's a steady defender, consistently closing out on the perimeter and winning the inside position for the steal or rebound on the weakside. The Tualatin junior (2026) and 6A state champion averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game last season. She's been putting in the work this spring, developing her skills alongside some of Oregon's top talent at competitive grassroots tournaments around the nation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921631"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6847620332a8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='1035055' first='Northwest' last='Select'] 5-foot-5 combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='921631' first='Tatiana' last='Harris'] is a spark off the bench with a motor. She has a knack for knocking down outside shots on the move and off the dribble, creating space on offense. Harris has a great understanding of the game and consistently makes the right read. She plays high-intensity defense, works hard every minute, and is a great teammate. The Nelson junior (2026) is interested in studying biology and dentistry while playing basketball in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["991289"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6847620332ae4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Central Oregon Force 5-foot-5 guard [player_tooltip player_id='991289' first='Kennedi' last='Modin'] is an athletic two-way player who can drain the pull-up three and get downhill. The Henley junior (2026) can beat her defender on the dribble and finish at the rim through traffic. She has great vision and passing in transition, and has the ability to feed the post. Modin is a smart and quick defender who can stay in front of her mark and beat the driver to the spot to draw the charge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
