For The Record

McKenzie’s Devon Banks still holds the OSAA State 1A Basketball Tournament All-Time records in two categories. Banks, as a senior for the Eagles in 2004, successfully shot and made 9 3-pt. field goals out of 15 attempts in an OSAA State quarter final game versus North Clackamas Christian. Banks also holds the All Time State Tournament record for total 3 pt. shots made with 17, out of 28 attempts. Both records were set in 2004 when the Eagles lost their first game to North Clackamas Christian 68-71, and then rallied to defeat Umpqua Valley Christian 90-48, and defeat Arlington 60-51, earning a fourth place trophy.

The Eagles Taya Harbick likewise holds two OSAA State 1A Basketball Tournament records. Harbick, is in a tie for the High 3 pt. made percentage in a game with a 1.000 performance (versus Jewell), making 5 shots out of 5 attempts. Harbick also owns the High 3 pt. percentage in a Tournament with a .700 performance on 7-10 shooting. Both records were set in 2010.
