Whatcom Hoops Boys Top 30: #10 Ty Jorgenson

In another amazing season filled with outstanding players, Whatcom Hoops is ranking the top 30 boys. Each day we’ll feature an outstanding player in our county and count down until we get to #1. So join us daily as we honor the best of the best.

#10

Ty Jorgenson, senior, Lynden

WHY HE’S #10: Even a broken leg couldn’t keep the 6-foot-7 forward from returning to inspire the Lions on a late-season run that took them back to the Class 2A state tournament. A high-flyer around the hoop — he would win the dunk contest at the Whatcom County Seniors Classic — who could dominate the paint on both offense and defense, Jorgenson averaged almost 12 points on 54 percent shooting from the field, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block a game. For his talent and inspiring leadership, he was named second team all-Northwest Conference.

COACH BRIAN ROPER: “I am glad that Ty had a season because after his broken leg it was in doubt for a long time. His best basketball is ahead of him. We only saw glimpses of what he can be and will be as a college basketball player.”

NOTE: Thank you to the coaches and to Tyler Anderson of WhatcomPreps.com for season stats.
