Then a narrow win over 4A contender Broke Bow, earned them the Kingston New Year’s Classic. In that title game, Anderson went for 19 points and 8 rebounds.

Anderson is one of top the guards in the state, because she has amazing handles and is tough to cover off the bounce. But the grit she is showing as a rebounder and defender for the Lady Pirates could be crucial in the top ranked Class 2A squad finishing the job this year.

Finished in double figures with 11 points.

Anderson has some of the top handles in Oklahoma. She easily carves up pressure defense, or slices through gaps in the halfcourt. She can shift gears with ease, to either set up a pull up jumper. Or to freeze a defender and blow right by them. Along with getting buckets, she also is unselfish and routinely sets up teammates with good looks.

One of the more exciting lead guards in 2026, Anderson is shifty when getting downhill. With outstanding passing and vision in transition or halfcourt.

Last year, Merritt won a dog fight over Dale for the Class 2A State Title. The Lady Pirates didn’t have Anderson for that battle, and she was a huge difference in this win for top ranked Dale. The junior has elite handles, getting where she wanted on the court. Carving up the Oilerettes for 15 points, while also handing out an eye popping 8 assists.

Quieter scoring game for Dale’s star lead guard. Still stood out for her handles and good quickness for her height. Variety of dribble moves and counters, makes her dangerous in transition and capable of breaking down the defense in the halfcourt. Rarely was flustered, even when ball pressure or traps were applied. Good in person to see just how athletic, physical and skilled she is after watching multiple times on “film”.

Good size, do it all point guard. In the halfcourt, always seems to be looking to fling passes over the outstretched arms of defenders to open teammates. Plays at her own pace on offense, with a variety of ways to score off drives. Including a pretty, one legged floater that was a clutch score late. Ended the third quarter by posting up a mismatch and powering through for a touch bucket. Complete guard that can fill a variety of roles, but seems to be excelling as the primary ball handler for the tradition rich Pirates.
