Summer Basketball League Culminates with Standout Performances
The final day of the summer boys basketball league at Auburn High School brought together some of the region’s most promising talent, offering a glimpse of the upcoming season’s dynamics.
Carson Tice from Enumclaw emerged as a potential dark horse for the 3A NPSL First Team, his smooth shot and crafty shot‑creating ability drawing praise from coaches and teammates alike.
Auburn entered the showcase as a favorite in the 4A North Puget Sound League, yet the squad is still searching for a definitive star among standouts such as Isaiah Englund, Emmanuel Rogers and Leroy Kinnay.
Guard Play and Scoring Depth
Kentridge’s backcourt trio — Jaylen Keowla, Jamir Harris and the rest of the supporting cast — proved lethal, combining scoring bursts with efficient ball movement that kept opponents off balance.
Meanwhile, Kentwood faces a rebuilding challenge after losing Brandon Tagle; the team will look to Caleb Ross and Bryson Manaway to shoulder increased responsibility.
Tahoma’s duo of Jake Moen and Trevor Stonerock also made significant impacts, showcasing both scoring prowess and defensive intensity on the final day.
Other notable contributors, including Sam Oliver, Daniel Johnson, Jaylen Petty, Carter Hansen, Giovanni Moimoi, Ethan Monroe, Zac Webb, Jacob Bail, Blake Solomon, Rick Tripp and many more, added depth and competitiveness throughout the league.
With schools such as Auburn High School, Enumclaw High School, Kentridge High School, Kentwood High School and Tahoma High School all represented, the summer circuit has set a promising foundation for the fall season.
