The event culminated in the Spring and Summer long circuit, which featured teams from Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. After 9 stops, the circuit concluded in Seal Beach California. The 15U title was taken home by Swoosh Elite, Rancho Elite took home 16U honors and Roots Academy hoisted the 17U trophy. The event was home to so many talented wing players. In this article, we take a look at the top wings from the event.
Khalon Johnson Khalon Johnson 6'4" | CG Eduprize Gilbert | 2024 State AZ 6’3 SG D1 New Mexico 2023 – A card-carrying member of my all-tough shot team, Johnson was brilliant this weekend. He is a natural scorer with three-point shooting ability, Johnson can quickly get downhill and finish in transition or defeat opponents with 1 v 1 moves. He was one of the more dynamic scorers on the circuit this season.
Noah Wilhelm Noah Wilhelm 6'2" | SG Ponderosa | 2024 State CO 6’1 CG Team Revenge 2024 – Wilhelm is a floor spacing combo with good finishing ability. He was most effective this weekend, burying catch and shoot trey’s from behind the line.
Parker Geritts 6’1 CG Roots Academy 2023 – Gerrits has a ton of tangible tools, however, what I like most about him, is his ability to take his game to another level when the team needs it most. He shot it, slashed, defended, and finished however it seemed as if anytime Roots needed a spark, Gerrits was there to give them a lift. He is a natural shooter, that plays with underrated physicality. Gerrits was brilliant en route to being named MVP of the 17U bracket.
Parker Bauman 6’4 SG BDH Elite 2023 – Bauman was effective when playing his game, which is knocking down mid-range shots and making plays for teammates. In addition to his mid-range, he was able to finish drives to the hoop and was often times the initiator of the transition offense for BDH.
Kingston Porch Kingston Porch 6'6" | SF Eduprize | 2026 State AZ 6’4 SG D1 New Mexico 2025 – Long lean lefty with upside. Porch is a shot creator, that has the ability to get his in 1 v 1 situations. He is a streak shooter, that can get hot quickly. His length and quickness provide him with key tools to be effective on the defensive end.
Christian Harris 6’3 SG Rancho Elite 2024 (featured image) – I was impressed with how easy Harris made the game look. The smooth wing was able to get to the basket off the dribble, both in transition and in 1 v 1 situations. He’s a scorer that can shoot it, making him a threat to change the scoreboard from behind the arc, or with his first step.
Julius Brower 6’0 SG IE FIre Elite 2025 – Brower is a scorer that fits perfectly in the IE Fire’s up-tempo style. His specialty is his pull-up mid-range jumper which he hit several times throughout the weekend. He was good at changing speeds, going from fast to slow and vice versa effortlessly. He was one of the key players in the Fire’s run to the championship game.
Jace Kellog 5’9 PG Swoosh Elite 2026 – Kellog’s wiggle and handle jump out instantly. He has the ability to defeat opponents with a quick first step or some slick COD’s including a left-to-right crossover. His offense and playmaking ability were two key factors in Swoosh’s run to the title.
