There are plenty of nominations for The Oregonian/OregonLive's high school athlete of the week this week since we had a little bonus basketball with the Northwest Shootout to go along with our typical spring slate of sports.

Vote for whoever you want, as many times as you want, until 5 p.m. Sunday since this wasn't posted until Tuesday morning. 

Isaac Bonton, Parkrose boys basketball: The Broncos senior finished with a team-high 35 points and added seven rebounds, three steals and two assists, earning MVP honors as Oregon outlasted Washington 140-135 at the Northwest Shootout all-star boys basketball game at Liberty High School in Hillsboro. Bonton was 13 for 15 from the line, including several clutch free throws in overtime to help Oregon seal the win. 

Khalid Thomas, West Linn boys basketball: The Lions senior put on a dazzling shooting display at the Northwest Shootout at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, draining each of his first seven attempts from three-point range.
