Continue ReadingThe 3A state tournament results were both unexpected and rather impressive at the same time. Marsh Valley made sure to cut down the nets as they took home the state title and showed that they were the best team in the state at the 3A level. Marsh Valley strung together three quality wins on their way to reaching the top spot and they did so with a balanced attack and a great offensive display. Continue reading for a look at the top performers from the 3A state tournament.
DJ Green, McCall-Donnelly: Though McCall-Donnelly finished in second place, Green was still voted MVP of the 3A tournament due to his offensive performance throughout the weekend. Green averaged nearly 25 points a game on 45% shooting from the field. DJ lived at the free throw line and was able to score at will at the rim or he also did a great job of shooting the ball at a high level from outside. DJ has a strong body and was a matchup nightmare for opposing teams that tried to send smaller guards to defend him. Green would make a great guard at the next level.
Bracken Howell Bracken Howell 6'1" | SG Marsh Valley | 2021 State ID , Marsh Valley: Howell used his sharp-shooting abilities to push Marsh Valley to a state championship. All weekend, Howell scored at a high level and his shot looked great in every game that he played. Howell also did a great job of setting his teammates up and putting them in positions to score. Bracken was constantly playing solid defense and showed that he has a great all-around game that makes him a threat on both ends of the court. Howell will be a great shooter at the next level.
Trentyn Kreager Trentyn Kreager 6'2" | SG Priest River | 2022 State ID , Priest River: Kreager played a big role on a Priest River team that was finally able to get back to the state tournament after a few years of drought. Trentyn showed his ability to shoot the ball well and constantly bullied his way to the basket for easy buckets over smaller defenders. Kreager did a great job on defense as well and rebounded well on both the offensive and defensive glass.
