Going a perfect 8 for 8 late and only shooting 30% from the field. But she saved her best for last, first drawing a foul and draining a pair to tie it. Then seconds later, scoring off a floater to win the game. Remarkable focus and determination form the senior to close out Brown has been a pure bucket getter all year and Saturday was the perfect ending to an amazing senior season and career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913569"],"_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-69b5d779c41a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King was a force off the dribble from the jump. When she gets a head of steam in the halfcourt she's often too fast and too strong. Powered her way to 15 points with a determined effort on 7 of 10 shooting. She's had an outstanding sophomore season, cementing herself as one of the top prospects in Oklahoma regardless of class. This game also gave her a learning experience. With the game tied late, she got a head of steam and was called for a charge call with a head down type drive. Her feel as a drive to avoid charges calls and make the right passes will be a big step in her continual development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 3A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington 66</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adair 33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington poured it on to start the game and never looked back in winning their second straight Class 3A State Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["572989"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1556258,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69b5ab254721d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There's something about [player_tooltip player_id='572989' first='Preslee' last='Johnson'] and championship Saturdays. She was dialed in early from deep hitting threes just like last year's title game. Similar to last year, her hot shooting led to Washington to a blowout win to secure the Class 3A title in style. Finished with a team high 16 points and is headed to UCO where she'll keep knocking down threes and playing stellar defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["578004"],"_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-69b5ab254728a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The heart and the soul of the Warriors only scored 13 points in her final high school game. But every bucket felt like a haymaker in the rout. She plays with fire and passion, giving weight to her scores. And energy that her teammates feed off of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's been a remarkable four year career for Beller, as she's tasted the lows of title games her first two years. But persevered through injuries and more to deliver back to back Gold Balls to a prestigious Washington program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 2A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Howe 50</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vanoss 42</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Howe jumped out early and lead wire to wire.

She's a rugged and versatile forward who recorded a double double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Handed out 4 assists on the way to winning Class 2A Gold and cementing her legacy as an elite athlete for her eastern Oklahoma small town.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1244104"],"_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-69b5ab25473be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Lady Wolves were not afraid to let it to fly, getting up 33 total three-point attempts. Parks took 8 of them, connecting on 4 for a game high 16 points. While the central Oklahoma team loses key senior talent, with returning guards like Parks they'll remain in the Class 2A mix because shooting changes games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
