Edmond North
The Huskies are the most talented team heading into the playoffs. Will they be able to pull it all together and win state? That we don’t know yet. But for certain, Edmond North will make the state tournament. Coach Terry Evans has done a great job with this group pulling them together. Marvin Johnson and Marques Wilson is one of the best guard combinations in the state.
Putnam City West
The Patriots would tell you straight up they have not had the year they planned on having. But the bracket sets up perfectly for them to have a great shot at making the state tournament. If they can get past PCO, then it shapes up nicely for them to return to state.
Westmoore
The road won’t be a cake walk by any stretch, but Westmoore can make State if they use their strength’s. Look for Will Graham to be key in their run to state.
Putnam City North
The Panthers led by Adokiye Iyaye and Micah Thomas have a great set up for them to make state. If Putnam City North plays to their ability they will cruise to state.
Norman North
Anytime you have Trae Young on your squad I’m picking you to represent as one of the top 8 teams in Class 6A. Norman North got a huge win before the playoffs over Edmond North. Look for that momentum to carry over to the playoffs.
Midwest City
The Bombers are loaded with talent and have a chance to take care of business and make some noise in the playoffs. After missing the state tournament the past two season, Keyshawn Embery and the Bombers are set to end that streak.
Union
If there is a sure fire team that will make it to state it’s the Union Redskins. I’d be shocked to see them miss it. The twin towers inside, Ethan Chargois and Adrian Rodriguez have dominated teams all season.

Union
A lot of talk about new twin towers but Tulsa has one of their own in Adrian Rodriguez and Ethan Chargios. Both are D1 bigs with skill which sets the “U” a step above.
Putnam City North
No one has a better group of role players then PCN. North can go 1-8 and get production from everyone. Not to mention the great backcourt of Adokiye Iyaye and Micah Thomas. They are young but they can get it done now.
Edmond North
Like Tulsa Memorial, EN has it all at their leisure. If Marvin Johnson plays to his potential which he has so far this season the Huskies can get to the ship.
Midwest City
MWC is playing well heading into the playoffs. Keyshawn Embery has been the second best player in the state not named Trae Young. DJ Walter and Jalen Redmond will be key factors in the Bombers success.
Norman North
Trae Young can be stopped plain and simple. The question is if his teammates can step up and help Young capture a gold ball.
Westmoore
No team has the type of defensive versatility that Westmoore has led by Damoriea Vick who can guard anybody.
Yukon
Yukon is my dark horse to make it to State. Their athleticism on the perimeter is phenomenal and Cameron Martin is a load down low.
Putnam City West
Out of respect, PCW is the defending champ and I believe in their talent. Gerren Jackson can get aggressive and lead the Patriots on a run.

Edmond North
North is one of the biggest contenders for the title. They have a big front line and athletic guards. The biggest question for them is if they can win even if outside shots aren’t falling.
Westmoore
Westmoore has been a solid team all year. They have an experienced team that has been surprising people with how hard they play.
Putnam City North – Putnam City North is one of the younger teams to challenge for the title. With a good young backcourt we will see if they have meshed enough to pull off some upsets.
Putnam City West
West is the defending champ, but they have struggled at times this year. I wouldn’t expect them to go out quietly though. With quick athletic guards they can put a lot of pressure on opposing backcourts.
Norman North
North has come on strong recently. With the emergence of Drake Stoops, the Timberwolves lineup is looking dangerous. Plus with Trae Young on the team you never know what could happen.
Union
The Redskins are a force. With the best frontcourt in the class they have been shutting down the lane. For a team to upset them they will have to have all 5 players crashing the board at all times.
Midwest City
The Bombers have played very well this season and after a couple disappointing losses comes into playoffs focused and ready. They have the talent to beat anybody; it’s only a matter of if their shots are falling.
Booker T. Washington
Booker T. is a sleeper in 6A. They have one of the most talented teams, but have yet to be able to put it all together. If they can figure it out, then they have a chance to win it all.
