Is there a current high school boys basketball player who rates among Oregon’s top 25 of all-time? And by all-time, we mean modern era, from 1970-2017. There were greats in this state before 1970, such as Lincoln’s Wade Halbrook, but there aren’t many people who have witnessed both eras, so it’s not fair to compare.
We don’t think there is a player among the current crop worthy of top 25 consideration, but perhaps you disagree. Here is a list we developed a year ago, after talking to a dozen long-time coaches, of the state’s all-time top 25, after current Oregon Duck Payton Pritchard led West Linn to its fourth consecutive state title.
