One of the best basketball players in Oregon’s senior class of 2025 has found a home.
Atkins said on Christmas Eve that he intends to play collegiate basketball at Eastern Arizona, possibly as a gift to Oregon high school basketball fans.
For a few years now, Atkins has been among the best boys’ basketball players in Oregon. Last winter, as a junior, he was selected to both the Mt. Hood Conference first team and the second team all-state.
He has guided Barlow to a 65-21 record in three years, helping the Bruins place fifth in the state finals in 2022 and fourth in 2023.
