PLAYERS TO WATCH
Boys Basketball
Shane Threadgill – Idabel
Threadgill will be top 20 players in class 3A for the upcoming season.
Kieler Young – Broken Bow
Kieler will be the centerpiece of our offensive attack.
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.
Girls Basketball
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.
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.
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.
UNSUNG HEROES
Boys Basketball
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.
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.
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.
UNDERCLASSMEN TO WATCH
Boys Basketball
Baker Hoskin – Idabel
Baker is a high-caliber player that excels in three different sports at Idabel. He will look to have a big season on the basketball court.
Tyrin Tinajero – Broken Bow
Tyrin is a very gifted offensive player. He is not very big but he can score the basketball from all 3 levels.
Rayner Bean – Wright City
Rayner’s ability to fins open players resembles John Stockton. He has an uncanny sense on being able to thread the needle on his pin point passes. He is an unselfish player, but is also a deadly 3pt shooter. Rayner is also a very cunning defensive player.
Girls Basketball
Eliyah Haddox – Idabel
Very athletic, skilled guard that will do great things for us.
Haylie Brantley – Broken Bow
Again, Haylie started last season as a freshman and was our PG. This was a tall ask of a freshmen to run everything for us. However, she was up to the task and did a phenomenal job last season. Again, look for big things from her next season and the one to follow.
Braileigh Threadgill – Wright City
Braileigh saw extensive action last year, and we expect her to take a big leap forward this year and contribute in a much bigger way.
