Transfer [player_tooltip player_id='550706' first='Skylar' last='Durley'] has made an immediate impact on the Lady Huskies program giving them that eltie scoring threat. [player_tooltip player_id='578026' first='Johari' last='Hall'] who is considered the most improved player of the summer by some gives them a tough backline combo. Sharpe shooter [player_tooltip player_id='574257' first='Kyndal' last='Williams'] can get hot anytime and is a must find in transisiton. [player_tooltip player_id='525640' first='Grace' last='Jackson'] a physical guard who has committed to University of Nebraska Kearney controls the tempo. (Kinzie) Kenize Hazzard a 6'1 sophomore handles the paint and inside game for the Lady Huskies. Edmond North has the players to bring up tempo pressure on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Newcastle Class 4a #10 (6-1)</strong> having won 3 of their last 4 games the Lady Racers may have figured their new coach's philosophy and are beginning to click Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='913552' first='Kalani' last='Kindred'] is showing why she is ranked among the best in 2028 class. <strong>Zaraya Sims</strong> at 6'1 holds down the middle on defense. Two additions give the Racers a strong backcourt. <strong>Whitney Wollenberg</strong> handles the PG and <strong>Lilly Tallerro</strong> gives them a serious outside threat. Newcastle is one of those teams that can catch fire and roll off some quality wins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PC North Class 6a (14-1) </strong>Only lost of the season coming to Norman in the finals of Joe Lawson Tournament. The Lady Panthers could be one of the most balanced teams in the state. They have a stong backcourt. [player_tooltip player_id='310156' first='HaNiya' last='Geretta'] a combo guard that has a very strong skill set. [player_tooltip player_id='578025' first='Kiana' last='Gray'] transfer from PCW brings wealth of winning with her. [player_tooltip player_id='802022' first='Nykaiya' last='Dillard'] provides the lockdown defense in the front court. The addition of Auburn signee [player_tooltip player_id='315218' first='Brandie' last='Harrod'] give the Lady Panthers the inside presence needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Allen Class 2a (6-1)</strong> Gone 2-1 vs ranked opponents this season. [player_tooltip player_id='879707' first='Cherish' last='Woodward'] athletic long forward that is a very versatile player that runs the floor filling the lanes and has a nice shoot from the outside. Shooting guard <strong>Kaylee Davis</strong> is a must find player as she is Allen best outside shooter. [player_tooltip player_id='876756' first='Addison' last='Prentice'] handles the point guard spot for the Lady Mustangs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bixby Class 6a (6-1)</strong> Only lost of the season coming to a very tough Booker T Washington team. Bixby could be one of the deepest teams in the state. Returning starters plus some transfers make them a team that can get hot from deep anytime. The Lady Spartans back court is loaded with talented guards that all can shoot the 3 and attack the rim. The Kate duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1260200' first='Kate' last='Datel'] and [player_tooltip player_id='572438' first='Kate' last='Wernli'] earned All Tournament selection in Bixby Inv. Joining them is another pair of talented players on the wing. [player_tooltip player_id='606268' first='Kourtney' last='Wright'] and ORU signee [player_tooltip player_id='801995' first='Amaria' last='Musick']. Transfer [player_tooltip player_id='331835' first='Brooklynn' last='Scarborough'] has been a nice addition to the program as well. Depth is not a issue for Bixby as they have a strong bench of young players Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='992456' first='Kerrington' last='Campbell'] fits right into the Lady Spartans program. A versatile guard that can do many things which seems to describe every player on the roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alva Class 3a #6 (6-1)</strong> Only lost of the season coming to a red hot Kingfisher team. Alva enters the tournament with 3 players averaging in double figures scoring. [player_tooltip player_id='802121' first='Lakin' last='Gaddy'] an all around athlete that earned All State honors last season leads the team in scoring. Jaycee Kelln an OBu Softball signee leads the team in rebound while chipping in 10 points a game. [player_tooltip player_id='1050421' first='Kylie' last='Adair'] rounds out the third player averaging double figures. [player_tooltip player_id='846985' first='Hadlee' last='Ohm'] does a great job controlling the paint area for Alva.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mustang Class 6a (6-1)</strong> Winners of six straight since dropping season opener to Norman North. Mustang has a deep roster on its team. Mixed with some veterans and underclassmen. One of those veteran players is [player_tooltip player_id='551215' first='Cherish' last='Haywood']. The Radford signee earned All Tournament in Bixby Tournament a few weeks ago. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='396323' first='Mya' last='Alston'] a very athletic combo guard that has committed to Oral Roberts University give the Broncos a great one two punch. [player_tooltip player_id='802139' first='Christal' last='Long'] a 2025 has put up great numbers in points and rebounds so far this season. Eliana Valentin Florence a senior provides great senior leadership for Mustang. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Owasso Class 6a (3-3)</strong> Looks to get back in the win column after dropping back to back losses against Bixby and Booker T Washington. Owasso is led by Madi Hill a very talented and highly ranked player in her class. I do not know this season stats for the Lady Rams but I would have to guess that Madi is close to averaging a double double every game. [player_tooltip player_id='633850' first='Jayelle' last='Austin'] an OSU Softball commit has provided some help in the scoring department several games this season. [player_tooltip player_id='574224' first='Sarah' last='Yokley'] is a player to watch as a small forward that does just about anything you need to help her team win. Owasso does have a pair of exciting freshman in [player_tooltip player_id='992463' first='Macee' last='Pruitt'] and [player_tooltip player_id='992446' first='Anna' last='Sudbeck'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
