Shane Threadgill – Idabel Shane Threadgill will be among the Top 20 players in Class 3A for the upcoming season. 

Alex Roath – Wright City Alex is a extremely smart basketball player. He gets more out of his talent or lack there of than anybody I’ve ever coached. He is a hustle and heart player. Gives more than 100% on ever play with a never give up attitude. He is coachable and great leader. Alex example is what holds our team together. 

Josiah Johnson & Lane Worthington – Achille Josiah is a high-potential guard who has never gotten a lot of minutes and could have a breakout year this year. Lane is one of two returning starters, he is a good spot-up shooter with the ability to defend and have a big impact. 

Eli Eaves – Atoka Great scorer, who finishes well at the rim, Eli has a great mid-range game. He draws a lot of attention from opposing teams. He is a really good kid that is extremely coachable and is a hard worker. 

DJ Dill – Caddo DJ is a hard worker that loves the game of basketball and it shows when he steps out on the court. He should have a big impact on the floor this year and will be a key player for Caddo. 

Darren Diggs – Durant He is a great young man on and off the court. Plays hard, does things that no one wants to do, and never complains. 

Jamarian Brown – Hugo As a sophomore, Jamarian was a major part of a team that went 23-2. During his junior year, he was the team’s leading scorer and now is ready to take that step to be a great scorer. 

Jace May – Rattan He is a go-to guy on offense. He’s hard-nosed and will guard post kids much bigger than him and hold his own. May has a solid understanding of the game. 

Jace Hunter – Buffalo Valley He is a great team player and floor leader. Jace is a student of the game and absolutely will not be outworked. He will be a key player for Buffalo Valley this season. 

GIRLS BASKETBALL 

Molly Rogers – Broken Bow In addition to leading her team in virtually every statistical category, Rogers is a leader by example both on and off the court. 

Mary Carden – Idabel Great leader. Great work ethic. Holds herself to a high standard. holds her teammates accountable. High in character and high morals. Vocal leader in practice and in workouts. Well rounded individual. 

Madison Carter – Wright City Madison is our leading scorer, leads the team in steals, and assists. She is also one of our top rebounders. She is a hard worker, and gets her teammates involved. She works hard on both ends of the court, and I’m looking forward to an even greater contribution from her this season. 

Gracie Holt – Achille Gracie is a sophomore that did not start as a freshman but has the ability to have a really big year. She is a high-IQ player that has the potential to be a very good defender. 

Emily Robinson – Caddo Emily has committed to playing basketball at Oral Roberts University. She averages just over 25 points per game. She will be a big-time player this season. 

Aubrey Manion – Coalgate Aubrey works hard and is an outstanding teammate. She does whatever the team needs and she is an all-around good athlete. 

Maya Dodson – Durant A very versatile player, Dodson does a little bit of everything for Durant. 

UNSUNG HEROES 

BOYS BASKETBALL 

Sam Hurst – Broken Bow Sam is he definition of a self made athlete. If you would have told me Sam’s freshman year that 2 years later he was going to be a major contributor on my varsity team I would have never of believed you. But this kid has spent hours upon hours in the gym and in the weight room and he has made himself into a very important part of our team. 

Cole Grant – Idabel He is a strong team leader that will be used this season as a combo guard. He will also be a team captain. 

Conner Green – Wright City Conner has worked hard in the offseason to make himself a better athlete. He has a built him self into a post body with guard skills. Conner has the skills to knock down 3’s and post with his back to the basket. He is an interesting combo guard/post. He is also a team leader. 

GIRLS BASKETBALL 

Natali Martinez – Broken Bow Natali is the type of player every coach wants. She shows up puts in the work and never complains. She is the type of player that only a coach notices because she doesn’t do anything flashy but she is always in the right spot and doing whatever job she is supposed to be. 

Ali Gibson – Wright City Ali is a talented player, who can play multiple positions. I look at Ali as our hardest worker, because whatever the team needs she steps in and fills the void.
