<p>District 3 is a tough one to call with all the Top New talent coming in this season. Bixby, Owasso, Union and Westmoore All 4 teams I think have the talent to make a run for the top spot. I also believe all 4 teams have a shot at the end of the season to make a strong run in playoffs. The next 4 teams have potential to win games that could effect that outcome</p>

<p><strong>Bixby 21-8</strong> State Quarterfinals last season Return 4 starters off last season team. <strong>Pre Season ranked #4 </strong>Great size at the guard position that almost seem interchangeable. Bixby will have plenty of depth this season with solid transfer and a strong bench. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='606268' first='Kourtney' last='Wright']</strong> a 5'10 athletic shooting guard that has smooth handles and does not need space to shoot. An Honorable Mention last season in District 4. . <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='801995' first='Amaria' last='Musick'] </strong>5'10 combo guard that can shoot the jumper and also has a nice mid range game. She has received several offers at all levels. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='572438' first='Kate' last='Wernli'] </strong>5 '10 combo guard that is strong can shoot the jumper off the bounce.

<p><strong>Owasso 22-8 State Semi Finals last season </strong>Owasso has a good balance of very talented Seniors and upperclassmen to go along with some really good freshman. The Lady Rams will look to replace their leading scorer from last year and they have several candidates that can do so. <strong>Madi Hill</strong> is a big time volleyball and basketball player. Coming off a great summer circuit where she was named 15u circuit MVP of 3ssb. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='574224' first='Sarah' last='Yokley'] </strong>5'11 combo guard that can shoot the 3 and has a strong mid range game. A player that makes things happen. <strong>Annabelle Ngouan</strong> is listed among one of the top returning players for Owasso. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751188' first='Hallie' last='Jewell']</strong> a crazy point guard that can that has range and makes good decisions. </p>
