As we continue our look at top Oregon performances from last week’s action in Arizona - we are introduced to a list of familiar names along with some new faces. [player_tooltip player_id="158476" first="Sydney" last="Burns"] has been a constant in Oregon Elite Navy’s success in the last several months as the UC-Davis is a high caliber player that plays with a certain edge that is hard to match. Mackenzie Naro had a dynamic performance versus Oregon Elite Gold where all her points came alongside the arc. [player_tooltip player_id="204576" first="Mandy" last="Sisul"] is an engaged two-way player for ABA whereas Jazzy Davidson continued to show her precocious offensive skillset for NW Stars White and Navy.
Emi Bishop is a serviceable forward who gets it done with extra marks as an activated rebounder and interior scorer for Oregon Elite Gold. [player_tooltip player_id="158519" first="Sofia" last="Megert"] is a point guard who plays with an exclamation point as far as the many ways she can score - she is also an excellent facilitator with great court awareness. [player_tooltip player_id="158555" first="Keelie" last="O’Hollaren"] has been a staple in the Oregon Elite program this summer as she made the jump from Gold to Navy and more than proved that she belonged.
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158476" first="Sydney" last="Burns"] 2021 5’8" SG Oregon Elite Navy/Wilsonville HS</strong> - There isn’t much to be said about Syd Burns that hasn’t already been mentioned - she is a player that is constantly trying to get an edge on her opponent with her high motor play - on both ends of the floor. She is an engaged piston that catalyzes her team in whatever way possible - in the half-court and transition setting. Versus San Diego Waves, she had a significant 12 point, 3 rebound, 5 assist, 2 steal effort where she showcased this uncanny quality to affect the game in a multitude of ways. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Mackenzie Naro 2022 5’8" PG Clutch Cardinal/Beaverton HS</strong> - Naro is the middle of three sisters in the family, as she plays well within a structured system but the most noticeable difference between her and the others is her ability to shoot it. Mackenzie displayed this characteristic exceedingly well versus a talented Oregon Elite Gold team on her way to 18 points - all off three-pointers. She shot an eye-popping 6 for 8 from alongside the perimeter as she hit consistently throughout the course of the game for Clutch Cardinal.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="204576" first="Mandy" last="Sisul"] 2021 5’10" SG ABA/La Salle HS</strong> - Mandy is an activated defensive player who plays with a certain confidence on that end and is an aggressive finisher at the rim. Versus NW Stars Navy, she had a solid contribution as an activated two-way player, someone who hounds down her opposition on the defensive end of the floor as well as is calculated on the offensive end as she posted a 6 point effort.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Jazzy Davidson 2025 6’1" SF NW Stars</strong> - Jazzy double dipped for NW Stars White and Navy as for both clubs she plays a similar role - a 6’1” point forward with an expansive tool-kit thanks to her physical attributes and skills as an elusive scorer. Playing so two clubs with so many games, it can be hard to pinpoint a certain game as an indicator of her skills, but one of her best performances came against Cal Sparks Gold against some serious competition. She contributed 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 steals as a player with upside as a creative scorer with many options. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158477" first="Emilia" last="Bishop"] 2021 6’2" PF Oregon Elite Gold/Wilsonville HS</strong> - Emi continued to show her consistency as an interior scorer and rebounder, as she was the biggest factor for Oregon Elite Gold down in the paint. She has a solid frame and mobility for someone her size as she is productive on the glass and gets a lot of good looks from offensive boards and deep positioning in the paint. Her 14 point total versus San Diego Sol was very representative of her low-scoring prowess as a prolific scoring option. </span>
Honorable Mention
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158519" first="Sofia" last="Megert"] 2022 5’5" PG Oregon Elite Gold/South Eugene HS</strong> - Megert’s second tournament running with Oregon Elite Gold was this past weekend and she has garnered a lot more confidence since her first run and was able to showcase her eclectic talents. Megert is a consistent shooter who also has playmaking abilities as an inspired guard in the half-court setting. She has many different ways to score and is crafty and imaginative. Her 11 point, 3 rebound, 2 assist, 1 steal performance versus Clutch Cardinal was amongst her best showings last weekend.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="158555" first="Keelie" last="O’Hollaren"] 2023 5’10" SG Oregon Elite Navy/Lakeridge HS</strong> - Keelie’s first action with Oregon Elite Navy came this weekend, as the Lake Oswego native was on a tear this past summer with their Gold team. Versus an athletic EBO 17 3SSB squad, she was able to see meaningful minutes and score 9 points and grab 3 rebounds in a spirited performance off the bench as a microwave-type of player who is incredibly efficient and has an excellent shot selection. </span>
