Amelia is a player that I believe made the most of her summer opportunities. Forward that has great versatility with her inside presence and outside shooting. An impact player off last year’s Area Finalist that some knew about but after this past summer the 6 ‘0 forward is now on the radar of several college programs. The versatility she brings allows Fort Gibson to play a 4/1 or a 5 out spread offense. Possible defensive nightmare for the opposing teams when running a man defense.

Effective shooting was on display this summer from the top of the key that gave her the space needed to attack downhill finishing at the rim. A player that I think many coaches have their eyes on the upcoming season. A that will need to have a very solid productive season for the Lady Tigers if they are making a run at the Gold Ball this season.

The Fort Gibson forward is an animal on the block for the Tigers. She’s powerful when carving out space or posting up, with good agility and footwork on post ups and even facing up. Especially as she’s starting to have a patented mid-range turnaround that will be nearly uncoverable one on one at the 4A level. The Tigers have an promising young backcourt, but expect the foundation of another potential 4A State Tournament run to be built off the skill and grit of Price.

When JYD’s offense was stalled out to start the game, the Fort Gibson Lady Tiger brought the scoring spark off the bench. She’s a bruiser around the rim with boards and physical play on defense. But don’t judge a book by her cover. She’s a rising stretch forward, with good shooting touch out to the three point line. Has a mean mid-range game off of face up drives. And great touch around the rim, even when taking contested shots. Type of player who consistently leaves her fingerprints all of the court while impacting winning.

Saw glimpses of potential with Price during last year’s grassroots season, and it has fully paid off with her recent production with Fort Gibson. Earned MVP honors last month while wining the Old Fort Classic tournament. Has recorded multiple double doubles, while also being a defensive anchor for the 12th ranked Class 4A Lady Tigers. Active and quick hands leads to her racking up steals and swatting shots at the rim. Plays strong and tough around the basket, with a dash of skill via a face up game.

Price is a forward who has active hands, from contesting/blocking shots at the rim. To even swiping away loose dribbles to cause further havoc. Also strong at the rim offensively. She’s capable of getting position for post ups or muscling her way to putbacks from offensive rebounds. Also capable of handling the ball with face up drives from the perimeter and helping to keep the offense flowing with passes. Fort Gibson has been one of the top small town programs in Oklahoma, and Price will have the opportunity to step into a bigger role and help keep the tradition rolling.
