Harrell hounded the opposition all over the court, forcing turnovers via steals, taking charges and even forcing a 10 second count. Good finisher around the rim, with great touch and understanding of angles to shoot over outstretched arms. Quickness and tight handle allows her to navigate through defenders and use ball screens. If the defense sags off to compensate for her quickness, she can hit pull up jumpers from three. Given that her older brother Mason was the 2018 Oklahoma Gatorade player of the year and a state champion in Carl Albert, it shouldn't be shocking to see she's a tenacious player who changes the game on both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["578039"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3bacd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The do it all wing-forward was quiet offensively to start out, but her impact was felt throughout. Her long arms and good timing makes her a threat to block shots, deflect passes and rebound in traffic. Can be an one woman fast break when she pushes it off those opportunities. Very promising junior who checks a lot of size, athletic and production traits for one of Class 5A's top squads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["309983"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3bad43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another game, another full stat sheet for the Edmond Memorial star. This 20 point, 10 rebound double-double was possibly even more impressive because the other half of the Lady Bulldogs' dynamic duo unfortunately had to deal with foul trouble. Which meant against a tall and strong Del City frontline, Williams more often had to fight downlow. Which she more than held her own, and then also produced on the offensive end. Love the fight and seemingly never ending energy the future Oregon Duck plays with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["556047"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3bada8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everybody knows about Edmond Memorial's two stars, but for them to make a State Title run the rest of their roster must play their part. Aska did just that on Thursday. It was clutch free throws down the stretch. She acomplimented those scores by being a trouble making defender with her athleticism and long wingspan. The Oklahoma Panhandle State signee also runs the floor hard and is a quality finisher at the rim. Important piece, who will be crucial in these upcoming final weeks of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["310153"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3bae0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bump did it all offensively for the Lady Sandites in the win. Her perimeter shooting got them rolling offensively in the first half. Then she spent the third quarter getting to the rim for tough scores and trips to the charity stripe. Plays with a good pace and handle, while also embracing the physical side of the game with good strength. She recently cleared 1,000 points for her career and it's no surprise after seeing her full offensive arsenal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802036"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3bae6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thornton seemingly always brings it while on the court, and impressively flies around and make plays. She had a stretch to close the third and to start the fourth where she flew out of nowhere to block a shot at the rim. A few possessions later she denied and stole an entry pass and her outlet pass led to a transition score. Then shortly after that she got low and ripped a loose ball away from an opposing guard. The combination of her size and defensive versatility remains very impressive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["654571"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3baecc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hunt first caught the eye for how she pushed it in transition and mades heads up passes. Throughout the game her influence grew, as she's a quick and springy guard with long arms. Which made her an impactful defender on and off the ball. And she's has some wiggle and burst when attacking offensively. There's still raw aspects to her game on offense, but the upside is there. Should be a priority for Oklahoma JuCos, because her ceiling appears to be high thanks to her natural athletic gifts and the strong motor she plays with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["555522"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793d8c3baf2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Versatile utility player on the defensive end, will pressure on the ball and also cause havoc in the passing lanes. Also willing to put her body on the line to take charges. And compete against taller players for rebounds. Good to see her in person athleticism and competitiveness matches previous viewings of her highlight videos.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913686"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6793dff22d15e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long armed and athletic freshman, part of a very strong Class of 2027 and 2028 core for the Lady Eagles. Bit of a utility player now, did a good job running the floor for scores, and finishes with a soft touch around the rim. Hit a 15 footer as well, seems to have potential to grow into a consistent shooter if she's putting in the extra hours. Clear upside to be a top tier defender, who also finds spots to score on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
