Simmie Colson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Harrison has been evaluated by many in Oklahoma; see evaluations here. I had to dig deep into my archives to find a few things I wrote about her, see evaluation here, so keep in mind this is 4 or 5 years ago, yet her “never cracking a smile” and all business on the court sold me even then. Fast forward to now, her explosive first step to score off the dribble looked good, yet she also has the HEZ ready for action to get the defender off balance. The “stop and pop” jumper looked good, as did her court vision. She also did a good job defending “on the ball”

A lightning-quick point guard who thrives in the open court. Her low stance, explosive first step, and ability to change speeds make her extremely dangerous in transition. She’s the type of passer who sees openings before they develop, consistently putting teammates in position to score.
A playmaker capable of putting up double-doubles with points and steals and while flirting with a triple-double. As a freshman, she started every game at the 6A level, showing poise and maturity beyond her years.
She also has shooting range, which demands respect from defenders and opens the door for blow-bys on weak closeouts.
If you’re looking for a point guard who can handle the ball, control the floor, and compete with a relentless will to win, keep your eyes on this young player over the next three years. Freshman of the Year and First Team All-District. Great start as a freshman

In modern basketball, shooting changes games quicker than just about anything. Harrison has DEEP range, isn’t afraid to let it fly and a microwave like ability to quickly string together multiple threes. Along with the big time shooting ability, Harrison is a quick and relentless guard. She is a handful to keep out of the paint and makes life tough for opposing ballhandlers.
With the tenacity and relentless she plays with, Harrison is set up to be one of the most productive players in Oklahoma over the next three years. And college coaches should be betting on her production to translate to the next level.

Slow start for the exciting freshman, but finished the game with a flurry of makes from three. She was pushing the tempo and stepping into deep threes like they were easy. Harrison is an up tempo guard, who plays with a chip on her shoulder. Add in the range she has a shooter and she has a very promising future as a super productive high school player. Who should be well prepared to play at the next level.

A lighting quick guard that stopped several runs early in the game with tough hard drives resulting in old school and 1. Showed a nice running floater when attacking the rim avoiding the blocked shot. Impressive the quick and low crossover by the guard allowing her to get those important paint touches. Good vision and creativity with ball creates scoring opportunities for her teammates. Tough pressure on the ball is quick and low making North guards work to get across half court.

Non stop energy characterizes Harrison’s game. She’s quick and tenacious as an on the ball defender, often for all 94 feet. Then has the same relentlessness on offense. Unafraid of getting paint touches against the trees. Or can stepback and hit threes. With a competitive streak, she profiles as a classic “heart over height” guard. She simply makes it happen on both ends of the floor.

Lighting quick point guard that controls the tempo for the Yukon girls’ team. Great vision off the dribble puts teammates on alert they need to be on the lookout for passes when open. The ball handling abilities allow shooters to spot up as Harrison understands drive and kick concept.
Tough on the ball defender that fits well with the team’s concept of full court pressure. The incoming freshman will be a difference maker for Yukon as they push towards reaching state.

Harrison never gives an inch on defense. Has seemingly endless reserves of energy. She uses it constantly apply ball pressure, be in the passing lane, trap opponents and more. Has a similar fearless and active mindset on offense. Harrison’s shot from three must be respected, which helps open up driving lanes. Has a shifty and skilled driving game. Capable of making defenders leave their feet with outstanding ball fakes and other moves. Will be a “TNT” type player for Yukon this winter.

A quick lighting guard that has transferred to Yukon from Midwest City. Good handles that can change direction on a dime getting downhill to the rim. Deep shooting range that can catch on fire changing the outcome of a game. Gained great experience this summer at the varsity level. Great ft for the Yukon program.
