Oregon 6A Statewide Preview: Top 10, All State, & State Champion Projections
As we quickly approach the first games of the 2016-17 season and all of our 6A league previews have been posted, we take a look at our statewide projections for all state teams and a preseason Top 10 list. Continue to check back to Prep Hoops for Top 10 team updates, as well as a look at all state teams at the mid way point.
Top 10 Teams
- Jefferson – Defending state champs, return Kamaka Hepa & add 6’8 D1 transfer Khalil Chatman
- Grant – Talented group that will battle Jefferson for league & state titles.
- Southridge – Big and athletic, can guards match up to the elite teams in the state?
- West Linn – Young but talented group. Do they have enough post depth to match up with the Top 3?
- West Salem – How far can a talented guard trio take them?
- Beaverton – Coach Andrew Vancil is rebuilding a once proud program with a defensive foundation.
- Clackamas – Returns enough to challenge for a return trip to the Chiles Center.
- Tigard – Well coached with a high level scorer in wing Stevie Schlabach
- Central Catholic – Young but talented group looks to return to the final 8 after a few year absence.
- South Eugene – Can elite shooter Jay Elmore carry the Axemen far enough?
Others to Watch: Lincoln, Sprague, Lake Oswego, Sheldon
