Northwest Stock Watch: Camas a destination; Oregon rising?
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On this week's "Recruiting with Andrew Nemec" on ESPN-affiliate 105.1 The Fan, Prep RedZone's Jordan Johnson joined the show to discuss the risers and fallers in the states of Oregon and Washington.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While both states are a little down compared to a decade ago, there's plenty of hope.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Oregon's top teams, namely West Linn and Central Catholic, have beaten top Washington teams in recent years, while the young crop of athletes is expected to be a good core.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And while there's been a small dip at both Jesuit and Central Catholic, Lake Oswego and West Linn remain loaded.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Lions, which graduated 11 first-team all-league players last year, are still a legit state title contender despite losing more than half of its star-studded roster.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After losing to West Linn in the state title game a year ago, the Lakers are perhaps the state title favorites, led by All-American-caliber running back LaMarcus Bell. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Retool. Not Rebuild.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While Washington has experienced a small dip since producing elite talents Budd Baker (Bellevue; 2014), Jacob Eason (Lake Stevens; 2016), Emeka Egbuka (Steilacoom; 2021), J.T. Tuimoloau (Eastside Catholic; 2021) and Josh Conerly Jr. (Rainier Beach; 2022), there's strong belief that the up-and-coming group of 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th graders could produce some truly remarkable talent.</p>

<p>In terms of gameday atmosphere, no one in the area is better than Camas, which feels like a Texas high school football environment on Friday nights.</p>
