<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While each of these players made it on to OGBCA All-State team, the Oklahoma Coaches Association team is quite a bit harder to make.

The victim of it just basically being too hard for a team to get 3 All-Staters when there are only ten spots. Raegan was named to the Oklahoman's Big All-City first team, and was a nominee for Sports Illustrated National Athlete of the Week after her 30 point outburst in the State Finals. A key part of two straight State Championship teams, the talented guard averaged 14 a game this season, and will be taking her talents to Friends University next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["551215"],"_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-67fe64f52c8df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sometimes defensive stars don't have the numbers that pop when it comes time for All_State selections. While I thought a State Finals run probably should have been enough to get Haywood or her teammate Eliana Valentin Florance a spot on the OCA squad. Haywood is headed to Division I Radford in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802022"],"_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-67fe64f52c92c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Teammate [player_tooltip player_id='315218' first='Brandie' last='Harrod'] got the nod for the OCA All-State team.
