Why is #1 Edmond North vs #3 Norman North the best matchup to go watch?
There might not be a game the rest of the season with this much talent on the floor at the same time. With that said this match up was going to be played this Tuesday, but has been rescheduled to Saturday December 17th. We still give you a sneak peak into this great match up. Trae Young will try to get the Timberwolves off to a great start with a big win. Marques Wilson will lead the talented Huskies into enemy territory.
The Huskies may or may not be with Marvin Johnson due to the transfer process. However, this is a State-semifinal type of game with great individual matchups at all 5 positions. Get your seat early because it will definitely be a show.
What can we expect from the #2 Midwest City-#13 Putnam City game?
Midwest City is favored in this game but it wont be easy. MWC guard Keyshawn Embery is a star who you cant let get loose or else. PCO has a big athletic team who may be able to hang with MWC’s athletic ability.
If PCO can take advantage of their size with Ben Jenkins and Owen Atkinson then they may give themselves an opportunity to win. MWC supporting cast will be the x-factor if this game stays close or not.
What is the best rivalry game?
Defending champion Putnam City West will face off with their old rival Putnam City North December 2nd. If the rivalry isn’t enough, the immense talent that will participate in this matchup is exciting. The Patriots are led by a smooth lefty in Gerren Jackson who can get fill it up.
PC North boasts one of the best guard combos in the state in Micah Thomas and Adokiye Iyaye. Blake Owens of North could be the x-factor with his size and skill. This will be an up and down competition where the men will separate themselves from the boys pretty quickly.
What is one of the most underrated matchups?
Norman versus Westmoore on December 2nd. Westmoore is #9 in 6A because of a talented roster that has taken there lumps over the years but are ready to step up. Damoriea Vick is one of the best defenders in 6A and they have an explosive floor general in Will Graham.
Norman has a lot of new faces on the roster and they are looking to put the Tigers back on the map led by David Sumo and Jake Ogle. These two are not current basketball powers but both of these teams have what it takes to cause chaos to brackets around playoff time.
What is the best individual matchup you are looking forward too?
Gerren Jackson versus Adokiye Iyaye will be worth the price of admission. Both can score at will and neither will let their defender have a possession off. In a game that will largely be dependent on guard play, these two studs will run into each up other all game long.
