Canby girls basketball team knocks off Cameron and No. 3 Mountainside

Canby senior player attempts to dribble past Mountainside senior Cameron Brink Tuesday night.

Derek Wiley, pamplinmedia.com, December 11, 2019

The Mavericks, who entered the game 2-0 with wins over Clackamas and Sherwood, were ranked No. 3 in the Class 6A coaches poll largely due to the addition of 6-5 senior forward Cameron Brink, a Stanford commit and the No. 3 prospect in the country, according to ESPN's Class of 2020 rankings.

Brink, who transferred to Mountainside from Southridge, where she won two state titles, finished with 19 points to lead all scorers.

Future Cardinals are MaxPreps high school girls basketball preseason All-Americans

Third Team

Cameron Brink, Mountainside (Beaverton, Ore.)

6-4 | Senior | Forward | Stanford

Brink transferred to a school closer to her home, and takes with her freakish athleticism for a 6-4 post, along with her 21.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.

Brooke Demetre, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.)
6-2 | Junior | Wing 2021 | Stanford

Demetre's numbers don't dazzle, but a 6-2 power player who can shoot 3-pointers and dominate the game in the paint is a valuable piece in any puzzle — and even more so in ultra-competitive Southern California.

Jana Van Gytenbeek, Cherry Creek (Greenwood Village, Colo.)

5-7 | Senior | Guard | Stanford

Well, we could call our third team the Stanford All-Stars, as Van Gytenbeek, Demetre and Brink will combine to keep Tara VanDerveer on the sidelines for another five seasons — that is, if Tara likes winning.

fiba.basketball, May 28, 2019

While the team-first concept is rightly at the top of the list for USA rising star Fran Belibi, she might still find herself catapulted further into the limelight by making FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup history.

The current buzz around the teenager could be about to rocket skywards if she becomes the first player to throw down a dunk at the event – something which is certainly not out of the question. You only have to take a look at her ever-expanding online collection of throw-downs, all of which are a sensation with fans around the globe.
