Making the varsity team is a huge accomplishment and for some young players they are making the most of the opportunity. Here are a few stand out freshman all over the state of Washington.
Tre Walker
Walker is a freshman from Wilson High school in Tacoma who is scoring 16.7 points per game. Scoring a season high of 21 points Wilson is proving just how much he belongs on the court. This young man has been a huge part of his team now being undefeated on the season. Wilson will be a player to keep your eye on over the next few years as he leads the state in scoring as a freshman.
Eddie Klatush
Klatush is a 5’11 point guard from Oakville High School who is scoring 15.3 points per game and adding 6.4 assists. With a slow start to the season Klatush has really turned it around having multiple games with double digit assists. He is a young point guard who understands the game and plays at a high level. He also fills up the stat sheet with steals and blocked shots. He has a season high of 8 steals and 4 blocks. He plays with such high energy, and is shows on the stat sheet each game. Having a point guard who can score and has great vision is exactly what you want as a coach.
Jaydus Green
Green is a 6’4 Freshman from Steilacoom High school, who is scoring 12.9 points per game and brining in 7 rebounds. Green is another young player who is showing off his skill by filling out the stat sheet. He plays both ends of the court at a high level and provides great rim protection. He has a season high of 9 rebound and is always putting himself in great position to get steals. He plays heavy minutes for a freshman and definitely shoes he deserves it.
Courtney Price
Price is a 6’3 Center from Oakville High school who is scoring 10.7 points and grabbing 8.9 rebounds per game. Price is leading all freshman in rebound thus far and has a bright future. What impressed me the most is his ability to protect the ball. When you watch a lot of freshman who make varsity you expect a few turn overs here and there while they get used to the pace of the game. Not this kid he keeps his turnovers low while getting a lot of touches on the ball. He will be a fun player to watch over the next few years.
