As referenced MVP Elite is one of the fastest rising 7v7 programs in the NW with Thurston's [player_tooltip player_id='1609774' first='Bentlee' last='Davenport'] representing and checking in as one of the quickest athletes for his class in Oregon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Two athletes down South making a name for themselves are 6-3 240-pound D Tackle [player_tooltip player_id='1609806' first='Darious' last='Thompson'] of Klamath and rising ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1612593' first='Nicoya' last='Pruess'] of Marshfield. Thompson made 19 tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss at the Varsity level as a freshman &amp; Pruess looks like the do it all kid.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Tahkai Smith</strong> of Westview is an interesting prospect, putting up some numbers on Varsity at QB &amp; DB. His versatility is impressive. Other interesting QB's include [player_tooltip player_id='1612591' first='Ethan' last='Peng'] of West Linn who can also start at DB, and 6-3 180-pound [player_tooltip player_id='1611487' first='Nolan' last='Wolfe'] at Glencoe. He will be one of the best at the 5A level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Roker Rahaley of Sheldon and [player_tooltip player_id='1161283' first='Madden' last='Hughes'] of Stayton both looked good at the recent PRZ event at QB as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp; LB [player_tooltip player_id='1612569' first='Lincoln' last='Lutu'] of Beaverton comes from an impressive family and could be one of the best in the Metro next year. Fellow LB/Athete [player_tooltip player_id='1612600' first='Rowen' last='Peterson'] of Sheldon looks like a potential two-way threat for the Irish.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;6-2 WR [player_tooltip player_id='1611539' first='Kyle' last='Benson'] of West Linn and [player_tooltip player_id='1611540' first='Blake' last='Clancy'] of Jesuit both play with Alpha 7v7, a program that recently produced a top 10 15u national team.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;One of the top 3A players in the state is [player_tooltip player_id='1609795' first='Mikey' last='Covey'] out of Cascade Christian. He finished the year with 48 tackles, 6 TFL's, and 3 sacks. Crazy numbers for a freshman.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;A few other noteworthy athletes include [player_tooltip player_id='986706' first='Raymond' last='Perez'] of Milwaukie who could be one of the better DB's at the 4A level next season, along with [player_tooltip player_id='1601598' first='Hank' last='Wheeler'] of Estacada who has recently done well on the camp circuit.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp; Last but not least 6-3 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1612598' first='Quenton' last='Lake'] of North Salem. The program has struggled but Lake got some varsity time and will be a big part of the future.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
