Oklahoma's top ranked player brings a rare mentality to the court. Even on a team deep with athletic and capable defenders, she still wants to take on top defensive assignments. In a recent win over a fellow top 4A teams, she went after and excelled in her defense on one of the top juniors in Oklahoma. She's strong and quick when covering on the ball, knowing her to defend physically without fouling by beating opponents to spots. Is one of the most tenacious rebounders in the state, cleaning up on both ends. Stewart has played in the Class 4A title the last three years, finally breaking through last year for the title. Expect her to leave it all on the court in the quest to go back to back.     McSwain takes as much pride in forcing a five second count or taking a charge as she does in hitting a big three. That's the type of hard working and passionate player she is. Her motor is always running on the defensive end and she impacts winning in ways that goes beyond the box score. On the offensive end, she's an up tempo playmaker. Who can also hit big shots from deep. A box office player who plays with steel for Class 6A contenders Union.     A long armed guard, Datel makes the most of her natural gifts by flying around all over the court. She often helps out on the glass. Deflects passes and even blocks three pointer jumpers. On offense she's finishes strongly and toughly, especially considering her skinny frame. Add in plus shooting from deep and she's a true Swiss Army Knife guard. Datel is headed to NSU in Tahlequah, but before then will be filling up the stat sheet and bringing the intangibles for Bixby's playoff push.     Bond is a skilled forward, who has consistently improved her shooting and passing over the years. They're impressive traits that will help her succeed at NSU. Equally important is the brick wall type playing style she has around the rim. Is a force on the block when it comes to rim protection and rebounding. Even led Class 3A Adair to an impressive mid-season tournament championship with wins over likely State Tournament teams from 5A (Glenpool) and 4A (Locust Grove). She played those game with a protective mask on her face, yet played with the same intensity and tenacity that defines her games.     Myers rebounds like a forward for 4A contenders Kingfisher. She also is a super effective 15 and feet in player. Hits shimmies and other moves to drain turn around jumpers around the rim. Finishes well through contact around the rim. Already has a game winner on her resume when she raced down the court and hit a free throw line runner to beat Destiny Christian in late January. Expect more heroics from Myers with the stakes high. Rather it be more clutch scoring, a big rebound, going for a loose ball or a clutch defensive play.     Hard nose guard, who has made sure there has been little drop off for last year's Class 2A runner ups. Best example of her battler mentality came when she led the Lady Miners to a runner up finish in the Mustang Holiday Classic against bigger school programs. Is a smart and tough defender, often taking charges and forcing steals. And her toughness carries over to the offensive end with how she scores at the rim against bigger foes. Fantastic player who plays with her heart on her sleeve. Is signed with Southern Nazarene in Bethany.
