She combines her height with dribbling and rebounding skills as these were put on display versus Corvallis in the opening round of the 5A State Tournament. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158546" first="Finley" last="Heslam"] </strong>is an extremely athletic multisport athlete that made PIL-All League honors and will be a name to look out for in the next few years. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158550" first="Beaux" last="Bruegman"] </strong>for Sheldon was a part of their run to Chiles Center for the 6A State Tournament and is an all around player that will continue to develop. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158554" first="Bailey" last="Donohue"] </strong>from McKay is a unique post whose size helped her this season, whereas <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158557" first="Sydney" last="Brewster"]</strong> for Sandy is a player whose fundamental all around game helped her make noise last season.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158545" first="Rhyan" last="Mogel"] 2023 5’10" SF (La Salle HS) </strong>- (Pictured) The versatile forward for the Falcons turned in a 23 point effort versus Corvallis in their last game of the season, in which La Salle desperately needed heroics in order to prevent an upset. Mogel rebounds well, is a natural defender due to her wingspan, and can shoot it with precision as well. Look for her to become a dominant player in the upcoming years.
