Oregon best prep basketball player ever?

Josh Cordell — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 20:43:23 +0000

Terrence Jones is ripping it up as a freshman at Kentucky. Kyle Singler is a national player of the year candidate at Duke and Kevin Love is putting up All-Star numbers for the Timberwolves in the NBA. These three superstars have to be considered amongst the best prep players to ever come out of Oregon… but who is the best of all time?

Some great ones come to mind; Danny Ainge, Terrell Brandon, Damon Stoudamire Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Luke Jackson. Who did I miss?

Here are some of the local bests:
Central Oregon: Maarty Leunen, Redmond
City of Bend: Abe Lodwick, Mountain View

Colt Lyerla – best football player in Oregon… biggest in nation?

Josh Cordell — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:46:39 +0000

Colt Lyerla of Hillsboro is a beast, but he may not be the beast that a magazine has him listed as being. I was recently looking at a national ranking of the top prep football players in a magazine and was a little shocked when I saw that they had Lyerla (the 2009 5A offensive player of the year) listed at over 500 pounds. Oh, he’s big… but not that big. He’s well over 200 pounds, but not quite 500 No doubt is was a typo, but it was one of those typos that makes you do a double take. Not like adding an extra digit (which is obviously wrong), but the kind where someone who was not familiar with the player might be like, “wow, who is this monster?”

Lyerla has to miss his team’s first game of the season, but look for him to have another monster year.
