Caleb Crosby | 6’6″Forward | We Are One | Midwest City High School
Caleb Crosby stood tall against all his defenders at 6’6″. His size attracts extra defenders whenever he dribbles the ball down the court. Whether it be outside or inside the perimeter, he tends to find the open man for wide-open perimeter shooters. On the defensive end, he brings versatility because he can guard any player on the court.
Case Chancellor | 6’4″ Forward | Claremore Zebras | Claremore High School
Case Chancellor is a hardworking stretch forward. When he is on the court, Chancellor makes his defenders question themselves on how they should guard him. He is fundamental inside the paint using his body to create separation, but also willing to go into the contact. He adds a decent three-point shot from anywhere on the arc – specifically the corner – and makes his defenders doubt themselves defensively. Time after time, Chancellor found himself to be open and available for his teammates to throw him a dime.
Noah Clark | 6’4″ Forward | Tuttle Tigers | Tuttle High School
Noah Clark is an all-around player. He can dribble and shoot with a six-foot-four-inch height that makes him one of the tallest players on the court. When he catches the ball on the perimeter he does not rush but instead takes his time. He has a high basketball IQ that allows him to understand where and when he needs to do things like pulling shots from the three-point line or pump faking to allow some separation between his defender and him for an easy drive to the basket. He has a nice fluid jumper with no hesitancy as to if he is out of his range.
Jarvis Nash | 5’9″ Forward | Team Goldbear | Midwest City High School
Jarvis Nash makes himself one of the best athletes on the court any time he plays. At 5’9″, Nash can out-rebound most. His strength and athleticism gives him the edge against others of his size. The Midwest City freshman can work inside the paint and does well in driving with the ball to where he wants to be. Nash has the ball on a string in his hands and is able to attack the basket whenever he wants.
Cameron Parker | 6’4″ Forward | Knights | Community Christian School
Cameron Parker fights for every rebound inside the paint. His height plus muscle gives him the edge against opposing rebounders whenever a missed shot is coming off the rim. He does well finding a body and blocking out so he can ensure himself to add another board to his stats. Parker’s strength motivates him whenever he catches the ball to go back up. He’s raw, but he showed great growth through the games with his confidence growing.
Michael McHugh | 6’0″ Forward | Claremore Zebras | Claremore High School
Michael has a built-in switch that allows him to go up and down the court whenever he wants, and the switch only has an “on” option. Defensively, McHugh runs all over helping his teammates’ matchups not drive or score. He gets steals that allow him to take the ball coast to coast with no defenders to contest. He runs in the fast breaks really well without the ball – he hits the sidelines sprinting looking for a pass to score on a drive or drawing fouls because he isn’t shy to get physical.
