The ability to be a two way player who can change the pace of a game with a single play or can provide consistency to a group of individuals is invaluable. Morgan Miller Morgan Miller 5'5" | PG Lincoln | 2023 State OR has shown her ability to be a consistent cog for NW Stars this summer with her ability to hold her own alongside the perimeter. Rose Koehler Rose Koehler 5'6" | PG Summit | 2023 State OR and Olive Nye are two steadfast guards who affect the game in a multitude of ways from the Bend area. Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR is a traditional point guard with a high IQ and the ability to run a team with her team oriented tendencies. Hailey Shimojima Hailey Shimojima 5'5" | PG Tigard | 2023 State OR is a point guard who knows how to pick up the pace at the drop of a pen.
Morgan Miller Morgan Miller 5'5" | PG Lincoln | 2023 State OR 2023 5’5″ PG NW Stars/Lincoln HS – Morgan is a serviceable guard who is incredibly persistent in her ability to help fill the seams and gaps alongside the perimeter for her team. She has a knack for swinging the ball alongside the arc, as she is a great facilitator in that regard. Defends well within the team defensive scheme and is an above average rebounder. Can score when her name is called, great overall team player.
Rose Koehler Rose Koehler 5'6" | PG Summit | 2023 State OR 2023 5’6″ PG Summit HS – Rose is an aggressive guard whose abilities on this end up in extra possessions and points for her team as she is proactive as an on-ball defender. Offensively she is a sparkplug who can score in bunches while she is on the floor particularly as a spirited slasher to the basket. She is a team-first oriented player who helps her team immensely on both ends of the floor.
Olive Nye 2023 5’7″ PG Bend HS – Olive’s ability to impact the game can be seen in the stat sheet where she can contribute across the board. She is a vital defender who can protect the rim with good timing as far as swiping at the ball and rebounds well for her position. Defensively, she is fully engaged as she is amongst her team’s best defenders. She is also a great scorer in transition but can also get loose in the half-court setting.
Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR 2023 5’8″ PG Clutch Players/Beaverton HS (Pictured) – Naro comes from a heavy basketball pedigree, as her mother is her coach at Beaverton HS and her older sister Mary Kay is now playing at Boise State. Madison is a floor general who plays at a nice, solid pace – as she is very attentive on her merits as a point guard who serves the entire team. She makes unselfish plays the entire time she is on the floor, setting up her teammates for success.
Hailey Shimojima Hailey Shimojima 5'5" | PG Tigard | 2023 State OR 2023 5’5″ PG Tigard HS – Hailey’s primary role with Tigard is her ability as a steadfast guard who has a knack for finding her teammates in stride and scoring position. She is also a solid defender who has good lateral speed and is witty on her merits as a defender. Can hit the open perimeter shot and flourishes in the transition setting as a scorer and passer.
