Senior who drove the offense for Mustang. Very good athlete, is quick and strong on drives. Can change directions and shake and bake with the best of them. Also created with her drives and transition pushing,. which netted her 5 assists. Which complimented the 11 points she scored.

Woodward has averaged double figures since her freshman year for Allen. And often pulls down double doubles because that’s the type of motor and instinct she plays with. Those traits also allow her to deflect passes and make more hustle plays on defense. On Friday night, Woodward and Allen pulled the upset over top ranked Class A Caddo in an Area Title game. Leading to their third straight State Tournament appearance. And making Woodward a must watch prospect this upcoming week as the new Coliseum opens up.

Was huge for Allen, finishing with a huge 19 point, 11 rebound double-double. Averaged 12 a game for Allen this year. Shifty athlete is so tough to stop in one-on-one situations. Gets a ton of steals that lead to layups. Has quick hands and is immediately firing it up ahead, great outlets and decision making.

for joining teammate Kaylee Davis in the 1k club. Giving the Allen Lady Mustangs two young ladies that can fill up the stats sheet. A combo guard that can shoot the 3 as well as post up a smaller defender. Listed at 5’7 but she is long and physical enough to handle inside the paint of defense. A 2025 to keep and eye on

A do it all guard for Allen, Woodward caught the eye by doing a bit of everything. Often was tasked with being the player who brought it up against a tough Lady Panthers press. Has good handles, as along with breaking the press when she got downhill she drove and looked to create for others with good passes. Really caught the eye with quick hands and defensive awareness. Closed out quickly to block shots. Deflected passes and more. Strong all around performance.

Listed as a power forward but played very comfortable at the 3 spot. A forward that showed a nice outside shot from 3 as she caught fire several games Sunday. Nice ball handles as she brought the ball down several times in the offense. The deep range 3 ball she can shoot pulled out the man to man defender opening up driving lanes for her team mates. Showed a very nice quick shot off the dribble as she wait for her man to sit down on defense.
Defensively she was the only post her team had and she did a great job in holding down the paint. Used her length to play a half front making it hard for the entry pass to get inside. Nice rebounder that needed not outlet as she can start the break herself. A 2026 player that might be going under the radar in Oklahoma

Woodward is a hard nose, do it all wing that was super productive on both ends of the court in an early Sunday morning contest. On defense, she racked up simple deflections while denying the ball, straight up stole the ball by jumping passing lanes and generally appeared to have a nose for the ball. Even tracking and racing down longer rebounds. As a scorer, much of her damage came going to the rim, where she finished well. There were some good drives, including one that saw her cut her team’s deficit to only two in the closing moments. But a lot of her points came on easy scores, that she created by the hard work of smart and non stop off the ball movement.
