Aidan Clark (South Eugene)
Standing at 6-foot-9, the incredibly experienced Clark enters his final season as an Axemen as an elite shot-blocking presence with very long arms and a decent motor. Expect Clark to decimate a few shots at the rim this season.
Jasper Reinalda (Corvallis)
Reinalda is a physical anomaly standing at 7-foot-3, and his sheer presence underneath the basket should give opponents trouble all season long. The gargantuan center lacks athleticism, but his height undoubtedly makes him an elite rim protector.
Koby Williamson (Santiam Christian)
Williamson is another physical specimen at 6-foot-6, and his sturdy build makes him very difficult to get through inside. The senior forward does well to stay vertical at the rim and disrupt all sorts of shots.
Joe Juhala (West Linn)
The 6-foot-6 Juhala has decent length, but his ability as an athlete is what makes him a special rim protector. The senior forward can get up with the best of them, and his elite bounce allows him to claim a steady amount of blocks and rebounds on the defensive end.
