Josh Price 2021 Edmond North guard
Josh Price is a good shooter, defender and rebounder. The sophomore came off the bench at the Titan Classic, but had an impact for the Huskies during his time on the floor. Price shoots the ball well from 3-point line and can excel from beyond the arc when he gets hot.
Sam Walker 2021 Edmond North wing
Sam Walker had an eye-opening game in the first round against Piedmont. Coming off the bench, Walker had five points and gave great effort for the Huskies in getting rebounds, making sharp passes and not giving up meaningless turnovers; exactly what you need from a bench player. Walker played a hand in the win for the Huskies.
Cameron Clemmons 2019 Muskogee guard
Cameron Clemmons was great in the scoring game for Muskogee when he came off the bench on Saturday. The senior notched 13 points, good for second in scoring for Muskogee roster. Though the Roughers fell short, Clemmons’ ability to hit 3-pointers and knock down free throws was a difference-maker for Muskogee.
Jack Foreman 2019 Del City wing
Jack Foreman has a skill set that translates to pretty much every part of the floor. Foreman, whose twin brother, Jeff, also stars for the Eagles in two sports, is a star receiver on the gridiron at Del City, and that same athleticism translates on the basketball court. Foreman has crazy bounce. Mix that with handles, basketball iQ, and hustle, and he is one of the most talented players off the bench in the Mid-Del area.
Benji LaPat 2019 OKC Storm forward
Benji LaPat is a big, athletic forward who rebounds and defends well for the OKC Storm. LaPat played physical basketball and held the Storm by diminishing the impact of opposing forwards and getting the ball in Storm hands.
Jarrett Grisham 2022 OKC Storm wing
Jarrett Grisham is a sneaky-good scorer who can do well off-of-the-dribble or as a spot-up shooter. Grisham, a 6-foot-3 swingman, hustles to generate scoring for the Storm. He also rebounds well, using his long arms to reach up for missed shots and keep the ball in his teams’ hands.
James Locke 2021 Carl Albert guard
James Locke, who has typically started for the Titans this season, came off the bench at the Titan Classic, but had the same impact either way. Locke knocked down three 3-pointers to lead Carl Albert in scoring with 11 in the third place game.
