The Wolves are such a hard-fighting team with the ability to defeat teams with their defense and their hustle. There are three guys, in particular, that stick out, and it’s their three hardest-working: Tanner Morris Tanner Morris 6'1" | SG Shawnee | 2022 State OK , Jaylon Orange Jaylon Orange 5'10" | PG Shawnee | 2022 State OK , and Karran Evans.
Orange is a guard, but he’s strong and uses his guard skills and strength to get to the rim. What puts him over the top is his shooting ability and his ability to get his teammates the ball. There are very few things on offense that he doesn’t do well.
Evans is a great mid-range player, has a great mid-range jumper, and is a defensive-minded player.
Shawnee doesn’t have as much star power as the other upper-tier teams in 5A, but they have a ton of continuity and can give teams like Carl Albert, Tulsa Memorial, and Lawton Mac a run for their money in the state tournament.
