In November 2015, I attended the very first 'Prime Time Top 40 Showcase at Jefferson HS. Some of the top players in Oregon and PNW was on display. The purpose of this event is to put Oregon and PNW basketball players on the map. There is a lot of talent in this area! In the first PT40, Boston Celtics G Payton Pritchard walked away with the MVP award. Other notable players that have participated in this prestigious event over the years includes:
Payton Pritchard (West linn/ Oregon/ Boston Celtics)
2023 Marquis Cook (Jefferson/AZ Compass Prep- ESPN Super 60 #7)
2021 Nathan Bittle ( Prolific Prep-/ Oregon)
2023 Jackson Shelstad (West linn- ESPN Super 60 #57) Jackson is currently on a unofficial visit at UCLA and will not be attending PT40
2021 Nolan Hickman (Wasatch Prep/ Gonzaga)
This year will be another high profile event! The stage is officially set for the "Prime Time Top 40 Showcase" to be held at Gresham HS on Saturday October 2nd at 11am.
