Small School Spotlight

Checking in on the potential state tournament teams that played in the afternoon and evening at the Kingston New Years Classic. Which includes Class 2A favorite Dale, 3A contender Tahlequah Sequoyah and standouts from southern Oklahoma.      Physical wing, who took it over in the second quarter and never let up in the win for Dale. Competes on both ends of the court, with steals, blocks and tough rebounds on defense. Offensively, Muncy is strong and drives with purpose and control. Can hit euros and two foot stops to avoid defenders on the way to rim. All around standout who was impressive and 3A Sequoyah didn't really have an answer for her.     Quieter scoring game for Dale's star lead guard. Still stood out for her handles and good quickness for her height. Variety of dribble moves and counters, makes her dangerous in transition and capable of breaking down the defense in the halfcourt. Rarely was flustered, even when ball pressure or traps were applied. Good in person to see just how athletic, physical and skilled she is after watching multiple times on "film".     Continues to be a consistent low post threat for the Lady Pirates. Seems to enjoy the physical aspects of low post play, getting position early and fighting through contact. If fronted, she knows how to seal and score easily over the top. And once an opponent is on her back, it might as well be over. Great touch on her shots go well with her physical, grind it out nature. Important, reliable scoring option for the top ranked Class 2A squad.     The southeastern Oklahoma guard is firmly in the conversation for quickest guard in Oklahoma. A blur in transition and loads of dribble moves to go by opponents in the halfcourt. Also uses her equally quick hands to rack up the steals and deflections. Wouldn't be surprising if she has a few triple doubles before her career is over. As getting to 10 steals in a game seems very possible as she's absolute thief on defense.   The only drawback to her game this past Monday, was her shot was completely off. Maybe it was the winter weather rust but she consistently missed good looks. Even in the mid-range, her shots were often left short. Enough previous viewings of Cauthron indicate the misses were likely an anomaly, but they were the difference between a good and great day.     Woolsey is one of the premier low post scorers in Oklahoma. Broken Bow went to her early and often. Good finishing with either hand, fluid movements. Can post up, or run the floor well. When she started drawing a crowd, was a good passer. Making the correct reads, often leading to hockey and regular assists. Blocked a handful of shots as well, quick hands and good anticipation skills to slid over and make contests without fouling. Building off a strong freshman campaign, with an even better sophomore year.     Young sharpshooter for the Lady Indians. Textbook form and confidence to pull the trigger quickly. Even took a pull up three while pushing it in transition. Name to keep tabs on for the tradition rich program that is expected to make another State Tournament push in 3A.     Promising freshman wing, who contributes on both ends of the court. Willing to match up and hold her own against taller post players. While also capable of being on the perimeter defensively as well. Hustles for 50-50 balls. Offensively, has promise with finishing, pump fakes and playing off of two feet. Good foundation with room to keep growing as an all around prospect.
