Trey Alexander, Heritage Hall.
Alexander was a top three player in the state this season and was the best player in the state tournament except for his last game for the title were he was completely bottled up by Kingfisher. Nevertheless, Alexander scored 61 points over three games (20.3 ppg).
Corey Coleman, John Marshall.
John Marshall didn’t perform well in their final game against Heritage Hall in the state semifinals but Coleman stepped up and was a consistent bright spot for the Bears. He was undoubtedly the best player for John Marshall and in addition to pouring it in from 3-point range, he scored 25 points in two games (12.5 ppg).
Jett Sternberger, Kingfisher.
Sternberger didn’t shoot exceptionally well from three during the state tournament and that’s something he normally does well. What actually helped his resume was the fact that he didn’t shoot well throughout the tournament but still found ways to get the ball in the bucket. Jett did a spectacular job attacking the rim and often times converting three-point plays at the free throw line. He completed his last state tournament with 35 points (11.6 ppg).
Trey Green, Kingfisher.
Green was the second head to Kingfisher’s four-headed monster throughout the state tournament. Like Sternberger, Green wasn’t the best from three but also found ways to get to the basket. He thrived on defensive stands turning into offense. Green finished his sophomore year with 39 points in the state tournament (13.0 ppg).
Bijan Cortes, Kingfisher.
Cortes is only a sophomore but will clearly play basketball on the next level if he chooses to. He played and led this Kingfisher team like he was a senior and found ways to get the ball in the hoop. Even more impressively, he scored 32 points in the tournament (10.6 ppg) and connected on no threes. Most of his points came from drives to the basket and free throws.
