The first time I saw Abe Lodwick play basketball I was refereeing his game and he was in about fourth or fifth grade. He was good! He went on to be the best high school basketball player to play at any of the Bend high schools (he was a star at Mountain View) and now is a big part of the Washington State’s 11-8 basketball team. Here’s a story about their sweep of Stanford and Cal this past weekend.

It’s a balanced year in Central Oregon for boys basketball. The only teams to go undefeated in games against local teams are Sisters (4-0) and La Pine (1-0). When Ridgeview joins the picture for the 2012-13 school year, a CO boys basketball league could be very interesting! Here’s how it’s gone locally so far this season:

Terrence Jones and Terrence Ross both attended Portland’s Jefferson high school. Jones is a star at kentucky and Ross is a star at Washington. Both Oregon boys are projected to be drafted in the top 8 of the of the 2012 NBA draft by NBAdraft.net.

I watched Terrence Jones play a few times in high school but never got to see Ross play as he transferred from Jefferson. Jones’ Jefferson Democrats beat Mountain View in a very close Class 5A state championship game game in 2009.

UConn is projected to have the top two picks in the draft with Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb.
