Nevada Preps Boys Athlete of the Week: Legacy’s Rahjon Chambers

Legacy boys basketball senior point guard Rahjon Chambers said hard work is paying off for him and his teammates.

The Longhorns are 21-7 and Chambers’ play has his team in position to make a playoff run.

Chambers scored 25 points in a 69-32 win over Eldorado on Friday. He was named Nevada Preps Boys Athlete of the Week for his efforts.

“Ultimately for (the Eldorado) game, it was just finding the open man for me,” Chambers said. “And then my opportunities came too, and I just executed on it.”

Let’s get to know this week’s boys athlete of the week. (Note: Answers have been edited for clarity and length.)

Nevada Preps: Who’s an NBA player you look up to and try to model your game after?

Chambers: I try to model my game after Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving. Those are my two favorite players to watch, especially at the guard position.

NP: Do you have any game day superstitions or pregame rituals that you follow?

Chambers: Yes, before every game I give my mother a special handshake. It’s like my good luck charm. And before every game, I just listen to music to try and stay locked in.

NP: What’s on your pregame playlist?

Chambers: I listen mainly to rap and artists like OT7 Quanny, BabyTron and stuff like that.

NP: Do you have a go-to pregame or postgame celebratory meal?

Chambers: For pregame, I usually eat something light, just like a little snack like a honey bun or an apple. That’s really it.

NP: If you weren’t playing basketball what sport would you be playing?

Chambers: If I wasn’t playing basketball, I would be playing football. That was one of my early loves for sports and that’s the first sport I ever played, so I’d like to play football.

Oregon lands commitment from Nevada punter

Oregon has found its next Australian punter.

Bailey Ettridge, who averaged 44.66 yards on 47 punts at Nevada this season, committed to transfer to the Ducks on Sunday. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

From Lara, Australia, Ettridge had 15 punts over 50 yards and 18 inside opponents’ 20-yard lines this season. He also had two carries for 26 yards, both of which converted fourth downs.

Ettridge replaces James Ferguson-Reynolds, who is averaging 41.64 yards on 33 punts for UO this season. Ferguson-Reynolds and Ross James are both out of eligibility after the season.

Ettridge is the first scholarship transfer to Oregon this offseason and his addition gives the Ducks 81 projected scholarship players in 2026. He is the lone punter presently on the roster.

No. 1 Indiana (14-0) vs. No. 5 Oregon (13-1)
