Central Oregon is once again well-represented on the high school all-state basketball teams that were announced this week.

There are two all-state teams. One is determined by a vote of the state’s coaches, compiled by the SBLive Oregon staff, and published jointly by SBLive Oregon and The Oregonian/OregonLive. The second one is voted on by the Oregon Basketball Coaches Association (OBCA), which puts together all-state teams for the 6A, 5A and 4A classifications.

In total, 19 Central Oregon basketball players from eight different schools in four different classifications were named to at least one of the all-state teams.

Two local players, Crook County’s Bryce Lowenbach and Redmond’s Wyatt Horner, were first-team all-state.

Lowenbach, the Class 4A Tri-Valley Conference’s Player of the Year and the keystone of Crook County’s Tri-Valley title and fourth-place finish at the state tournament, was voted a first-teamer by both SBLive Oregon and the OBCA. This season was about proving that he was worthy of being one of the state’s best players. And it started with his mindset.

“That has to be the mentality every time you step on the court, that you are going to be the best,” Lowenbach said. “Or else you aren’t going to be anything special. From the beginning of the year, that has been the mentality of the team and the mentality of me specifically.”

Horner was named to the Class 5A all-state first team by the OBCA, and he made the second team on the SBLive Oregon listing.

“It feels pretty good,” Horner said. “All the people who supported me, to make them proud and make myself proud, it just feels good to see the hard work pay off. I had more confidence coming into the year, to play my role the best that I could. I just wanted to win — that was the main thing. It turned out alright.”

The 5A Intermountain Conference did not have any boys or girls players voted to the all-state first team by the coaches on the SBLive Oregon listing, but it did have several land on the second team and receive honorable mention.

Three boys were named to the Class 5A second team, highlighted by Horner. Joining Horner on the second team were Summit senior Will Manfredi and Caldera senior Will Jenson, who each helped their teams make deep runs in the postseason.

Mountain View senior Mason Chambers, Ridgeview sophomore Gavin Leunen and Caldera senior Miles Macomber all received honorable mention.

Mylaena Norton, the girls IMC Player of the Year, made her second appearance on the all-state team. Last year the starting point guard for Redmond received honorable mention, and this year she was voted to the state’s second team by the coaches on SBLive Oregon.

Norton was one of two Panthers to make the team, joined by senior Dylan Cheney, who received honorable mention. Also receiving honorable mention was Summit junior Kalyn Christ.

The Crook County and Madras boys teams each had two players make the 4A all-state team. Lowenbach’s teammate Jace Jonas received honorable mention. Madras senior Reed Simmelink and junior Matthew Suppah Scott each received honorable mentions.

Surprisingly, no players from the Crook County girls team, despite winning the Tri-Valley Conference and advancing to the state tournament, were named to the all-state team.

Two Sisters hoopers were voted to the 3A all-state teams. Sophomore Audrey Corcoran was named to the girls second team, while senior Landen Scott received honorable mention on the boys team.

Trinity Lutheran’s Andrew Imhoff, the Player of the Year in the East Cascades Conference, became a two-time all-state player after making the 2A first team. Joining Imhoff on the 2A all-state team was sophomore Chimi Gilbert, who received honorable mention. Trinity Lutheran junior Ella Prelog was named to the 2A girls third team.

On Tuesday, the OBCA all-state teams were released for the 6A, 5A and 4A classifications. For the most part, the two all-state teams look very similar, with only a few noticeable differences.

In 5A boys, Horner was named to the OBCA first team and the SBLive Oregon second team. And Summit senior Ryder Grieb, an honorable mention IMC player, received all-state honorable mention by the OBCA.
