My name is Brayden Barron and I am in the class of 2025 at Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Oregon outside the metro city of Portland, Oregon. I am considered a young junior, a true 2007 and who turned 16 years old this past summer (2023). My athletic resume is strong, starting as a club soccer player who achieved a position on the Oregon Olympic Development Team in 2019 before the pandemic. A basketball player since the age of 5, I love the game more than any sport! I took the opportunity during the pandemic to refocus my time to increase my basketball IQ. Since 2021, I have increased my Oregon basketball class ranking from 139 to #8 (#3 for position). My reputation on the AAU circuit and through pre- and post-season high school games has not gone unnoticed by coaches, referees, and my teammates. Please review the few attached articles from PrepHoopsOR regarding my performance against others in the state of Oregon.
