Here is a look at some of the more interesting numbers involved with the most recent 2022 update.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>0.1</strong></span></p>
No. 1 [player_tooltip player_id="150924" first="Darianna" last="Littlepage-Buggs"] finished the season with 9.9 rebounds per game. She scored 12.2 per game, so only 0.1 came between her finishing the season averaging a double-double.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>7</strong></span></p>
Seven guards in the top-10 is the most in the history of Prep Girls Hoops Oklahoma rankings. [player_tooltip player_id="160439" first="Karley" last="Johnson"], [player_tooltip player_id="160437" first="Myka" last="Perry"], [player_tooltip player_id="211846" first="Modesti" last="McConnell"], [player_tooltip player_id="160440" first="Mikayla" last="Parks"], [player_tooltip player_id="212583" first="TK" last="Pitts"] and [player_tooltip player_id="211848" first="Toni" last="Papahronis"] are some of the best in the state and all reside in the 2022 class.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>100</strong></span></p>
No. 18 [player_tooltip player_id="211867" first="Ashlan" last="Light"] from Garber made 100 free throws during the year. She has averaged double-digits during both varsity seasons with a 16.6 average during the 19-20 season. Light increased her three-point percentage from 35% to 40% from her freshman to sophomore season.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>3</strong></span></p>
Although just juniors, three players in the class of 2022 have already committed to D-I universities. No. 2 [player_tooltip player_id="160439" first="Karley" last="Johnson"] to Arkansas, No. 3 [player_tooltip player_id="160437" first="Myka" last="Perry"] to Florida and No. 5 [player_tooltip player_id="160440" first="Mikayla" last="Parks"] to Kansas State.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>58</strong></span></p>
[player_tooltip player_id="211912" first="Nevaeh" last="Johnson"] wore No. 58 the first time we saw her play at the I-35 Showcase in Dallas. It was when we knew she HAD to be ranked in the 2022's. Though she is at No.55 now, expect that to change following a full high school season. She is a shot-blocking machine, standing at 5-11, and is as versatile a defender as you will see in Oklahoma. She can guard all five spots with her quickness and length and better yet, she prides herself on the ability to change shots. Definitely one to watch.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>1 Foot</strong></span></p>
The difference between the shortest player in the top-100, No. 87 [player_tooltip player_id="160449" first="Shawntae" last="Silva"] (5-2) and the two tallest players, No. 7 [player_tooltip player_id="211847" first="Hadley" last="Periman"] and No. 57 [player_tooltip player_id="211889" first="Shayla" last="Wofford"] (6-2). Don't let her height fool you, though. Silva shoots 31% from three, is a tenacious defender and averaged almost five rebounds per game for 2A Luther High.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>17.8</strong></span></p>
No. 50 [player_tooltip player_id="160457" first="Sydney" last="Duncan"] from Oklahoma Christian Academy averaged 17.8 points per game last season. Second among ranked players behind No. 52 [player_tooltip player_id="160461" first="Ky'lan" last="Seaton"], finishing with 24.3 per game among some questionable scorekeeping for Lawton Eisenhower. Duncan - a 6-1 shooting guard - shot 33% from three and made 70 out of 86 free throws for the year. Her 81 three-pointers were the most in the state by a 2022 player.
*Speaking of [player_tooltip player_id="160461" first="Ky'lan" last="Seaton"], the kid is a freak athlete. Only 5-5 and can jump out of the gym. Scoring average aside, she is a beast!
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>3</strong></span></p>
Three players in the top-16 are from the same school, 4-A Classen SAS. No. 1 [player_tooltip player_id="150924" first="Darianna" last="Littlepage-Buggs"] may gather - rightly - most of the attention, but No. 10 [player_tooltip player_id="160444" first="Micah" last="Gray"] and No. 16 [player_tooltip player_id="160454" first="Jordan" last="Harrison"] are very good players in their own rights. Gray is an extremely well-rounded shooting guard and Harrison is the glue that holds the whole thing together for the team who will most likely be the best in the state again this season.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>171</strong></span></p>
No. 20 [player_tooltip player_id="211868" first="Samantha" last="Shanks"] had 171 assists on the season, good enough for third in the state. She averaged 6.3 assists per game to go along with her 15 points per game. Shanks also threw in 2.5 steals and 4.5 rebounds per game for good measure.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>12</strong></span></p>
No. 4 [player_tooltip player_id="211846" first="Modesti" last="McConnell"] currently has 12 offers by our count and all are Division-1. Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, Florida Atlantic, Bucknell, Butler, Colgate, Charlotte, Tulsa, UTEP, Missouri State, Hartford and Georgetown have all offered her. The phenomenal shooter makes more than half of her three-pointers and is an absolute scoring machine with tremendous quickness and handles.
