The game resulted in a blowout win for South Medford as they showed more depth of talent in their roster, but there was an individual matchup that myself and some local Division 1 college coaches were in attendance for. Oregon State, Oregon and Portland were among those in attendance for this highly anticipated matchup.
2022 5’10 SG Abby Graham Abby Graham 5'10" | SG St. Mary's Academy | 2022 State OR will be a great pickup for a Division 1 program
Unsigned senior Abby Graham Abby Graham 5'10" | SG St. Mary's Academy | 2022 State OR was a consistent performer throughout the weekend. She is highly skilled with the ball in her hands and has the ability to get her shot off consistently. She utilizes euro steps, same hand, same foot finishes and much more to finish creatively in the paint. She is strong with the ball and also scores in transition well, finishing with 12 points in this game. She is a Division 1 level recruit that is still available.
2023 6’0 SG Sofia Bell Sofia Bell 6'0" | PG St. Mary's Academy | 2023 State #34 Nation OR is a high level shooter
The 6’0 Oregon commit fits into the mold of a recruit that Oregon likes with height and shooting ability. Sofia Bell Sofia Bell 6'0" | PG St. Mary's Academy | 2023 State #34 Nation OR only needs an inch of space to get her shot off and she is a truly high level three point shooter. St. Mary’s did a lot of ball screens and re-screening and South Medford did not hedge or double the screen much. Whenever the hedge man didn’t step up, she knocked down threes consistently. Bell hit five threes on her way to 19 points for St. Mary’s in front of three of her future coaches at Oregon.
2023 6’0 PG Donovyn Hunter Donovyn Hunter 5'10" | PG South Medford | 2023 State #26 Nation OR – Day One MVP
Pac-12 recruit Donovyn Hunter Donovyn Hunter 5'10" | PG South Medford | 2023 State #26 Nation OR made a statement in the St. Mary’s game. She led South Medford in scoring with a career high 35 points, but she also took on the defensive assignment against Bell, played the top of South Medford’s press and assisted to teammates. Her all around impact on the game was apparent and she looked every bit the part of a player that should be ranked much higher nationally.
