He's 6'2". They are 5-1 in NWOC right now. Beat Hill Hi at their house. Doesn't get any better than that.
Nice article about Glencoe team.
. In the NWOC, the Glencoe Crimson Tide, have crept in to a tie for 1st place with #2 ranked Wilsonville Wildcats after WW lost to Hillsboro 44-42 on Friday night. The NWOC is one of the toughest conferences in the 5A with the likes of Sherwood, Century, Hillsboro , and Glencoe who have all been ranked this year. Glencoe has beaten all of these teams with the exception of Wilsonville. However it was the first game back for Senior point guard, Tanner Apeland and the Tide played out of sink. He injured his ankle in the Semi-final game of the 5A State Football Playoffs. He was the teams starting QB. Apeland is a 3-sport varsity letterman. As he gets healthy he’s showing he may be the leagues best point guard. His handles are steady and his shot is excellent. Tanner possess great court vision and his leadership skills are very noticeable. He knows when to shoot and pass. Something that is very difficult for point guards who can score to master. He rarely shows signs of frustration and the kid has a first class attitude. While Apeland was out his long time playing mate Connor Bingen held down the fort. Bingen should get some type of award for leading his team through adversity. This was the first time he played strictly point guard and he did a fine job keeping his team in the hunt with a decent non conference record. Bingen is a do-everything combo guard who can stick a 3 in your face if you back off or he’ll blow by you with his deceptive speed and silky smooth handles. But what makes Glencoe tough is their post presence, which is lead by the 6’5” Senior Travis Vanloo. He has some of the best footwork out of all the post players in the NWOC. A nice shooting touch and he knows how to pass out the double team. He’s also a decent rebounder. Vanloo will give Lyerla, MacValie, or McGill a run for their money anytime he faces them. Thus far he’s my first-team all NWOC selection. Last but not least is the other post player Kory Kirwan. He’s also a Tide football player. The 6’5”, Kirwan is a Junior and has one of the nicest high-post/ low-post game’s in the league. Kory is a tremendous defender who has the ability to guard smaller forwards and strong enough to post them up on the block. His versatility is what makes Glencoe difficult to match up with. The only issues with the Tide are that they aren’t very deep. In order for the Tide to make a serious state run they
Well at least I won't have to buy him a taco.
