Athletes participated in skills work, 1v1 tournament, 3-point tournament, 5 on 5 game scenarios, and 5 on 5 scrimmages. The players listed below made their mark and stood out to me, and I enjoyed watching them put in work!
Avery Ragland Avery Ragland 5'7" | PG Mustang | 2026 State OK | PG / 5-4 | Mustang HS | 2026
Avery is a quick guard with handles that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Her competitive energy on the court puts her in a class that demands respect. She is a willing passer that finds the open teammate every time. At the point guard position, she displays high-IQ and that explains how she is able to make the right play. Avery handles pressure well and is not afraid to attack the basket and draw the foul. She has good footwork, body control, and has a good-looking shot.
Raegan Buraj | PG / 5-4 | El Reno HS | 2025
Raegan is a sneaky guard with loads of skills. She remains in control when the ball is in her hands, no matter the situation. She makes good decisions and knows how to get herself out of trouble when pressure is on. Her head is always on a swivel, ready to make a play towards the rim, and available to find the open teammate. When in the paint, Raegan displayed great footwork, finishing in a variety of ways. At camp she also showed her willingness to take shots, and makes shots.
Sadie Franklin | Guard / 5-5 | Blanchard HS | 2026
Sadie is an underrated player that provides so much value on the court. She is a great defender, low in her stance ready to make the offensive player turn the ball over. She pressures the ball really well, and has good instincts off the ball while on defense. She is a tough player that will bang in the paint and rebound against bigger players. She does the little things that matter, and I would say she plays the game of basketball to win. She runs the floor in transition and is aggressive enough to get in the paint. She is a hard worker and I look forward to seeing more of her game this upcoming school season.
Kayli Atkinson Kayli Atkinson 5'8" | SG Lincoln Christian | 2026 State OK | Wing / 5-6 | Bixby HS | 2026
Kayli is an athletic, slashing guard that is slowly but surely improving every day. She uses her triple threat moves to pick her defender apart and score. When driving the ball, her long strides help her explode past defenders and finds ways to score the ball in the paint. She is a ready shooter and is willing to take the big shot. She has a good-looking form and is discipline to hold her follow through. She went to work and won the 1v1 tournament at camp, competing against talented players and showing her competitive spirit.
Maccie Bain | PF / 6-1 | Kiowa HS | 2026
Maccie is a strong, post player that has the potential to be a nightmare for opposing teams. She works in the post for position and has good footwork to score easily. A player at her size and position, she is surprisingly agile. She can handle the ball and is a good rebounder. Maccie has the advantage when rebounding, because of her size and length. She also uses her length to see over the defense and outlet the ball to guards running in transition. One thing that separates her from the average player her size is her mid-range game. She can catch in the high-post, face up to the basket, and hit the free-throw jumper consistently. She can also stretch the floor and shoot from 3-point land. Maccie has a lot of upside, and if she continues to improve, she will be a sought out player at the next level.
