<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlighting players with super powers to close out August. In this case, it's game changing defenders.

And the ringleader for the 6A contenders is Alston. She's as tall as many forward prospects in Oklahoma, making her a post presence around the rim. While also nimble enough to cover, trap and harass along the perimeter. Fits perfectly into the modern requirements of defense at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["576992"],"_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-68b0aa2b61f53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duval is a smart defender, who can pick up 94 feet. While also understanding angles and ways to apply pressure in halfcourt setting as well. Gives off floor general vibes with the way she competes and communicates on the defensive end. Plays with a good combination of gambling to create turnovers and also knowing when to be disciplined and strong.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["572852"],"_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-68b0aa2b61fa1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McSwain is an "in your face" guard, who plays with infectious energy as a defender. She's often seen applying on the ball pressure, forcing opponents into flustered passes, five second counts and other turnovers. Can swing momentum with the energy she brings to the court. There's always rooms at the next level for athletic and defensive minded guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913600"],"_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-68b0aa2b62004"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tucker has never met a handle she can't rip. A thief in all the best ways, with track like speed to also cover ground all over the court. Plays with an "that's mine" mentality that has her set up for a highlight reel worthy sophomore season for new 5A program, McGuinness. Especially with the pride she takes in her defensive effort. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727813"],"_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-68b0aa2b62068"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">"Tiger Shark" has mastered the ability to explode out of nowhere and swat jumpers along the perimeter. That alone would make her among the top defenders in Oklahoma. But she's also a predator when it comes to playing the passing lanes and forcing on the ball steals. Plays with seemingly never ending energy on the defensive end. Which combined with her offensive pedigree, gives her the potential to record quadruple doubles this year for Pawhuska. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866548"],"_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-68b0ac4a473ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cauthron blends fire and steel to be arguably the top defender in the Class of 2027. Hustles to spots in transition to draw charges and play fundamental defense. While also knowing when to go for home run plays by forcing steals and creating havoc. Exciting player to watch because of her outstanding offensive feel. But it often starts with her hard work on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Highlighting players with super powers to close out August. In this case, it's game changing defenders. The best in Oklahoma, regardless of class.
