Three players to watch
Kyle Dortch 2017 Fort Gibson Wing
Dortch is the most talented player in the Area II bracket. He does so many things on the court that make his such a valuable piece for Fort Gibson.

Jace Shepherd 2017 Fort Gibson Point Guard
Shepherd is a player who could really boost his recruitment with a deep run in the state tournament. Not a lot of colleges are aware of just how good Shepherd can be. He does a good job running the offense for Fort Gibson knowing when to shoot and when to pass.
RJ Wakley 2018 Victory Christian Forward
Wakley is a talented multi-sport athlete for Victory Christian. He is strong on the boards as a key Forward for the Conquerors. Over the weekend Victory Christian will need Wakley to do what he has all season and effect the game positively in many different ways.

Berryhill v McLain
McLain will have to much quickness for Berryhill to handle. When the scoreboard reads 0:00, McLain will be on top because of the athletes on their squad.
Cleveland vs McLain
There will be a clash of playing styles when these two go at it with a spot for a chance at the state tournament on the line. Cleveland gets this one behind their seniors who have learned how to win games in so many different ways.
