- Southmoore Defense – Led with 5 blocks from Sam Godwin, Southmoore dominated on the defensive end from start to finish.
- Energy – If this game shows anything that we should expect from both of these teams, it is their energy. Both teams went up and down the court pushing the tempo, creating opportunities for Jordan Thompson thrive. Thompson hit some major threes in transition as well as dumping the ball of to his big men for easy layups.
- Shooters shoot – Darrin Ryan came out firing from the start and gave his team a big time boost in the first half. If he stays consistent from behind the line, he will be a big threat for Southmoore.
- Deliver in the Clutch – Sean Pedulla kept Edmond Memorial’s hopes alive all the way till the buzzer sounded with a HUGE three. He will continue to be the main threat for this young Edmond Memorial team.
- Interior Defense – JV Seat and Damian Kline played a huge role in their teams paint defense. Only being a sophomore, Seat displayed great footwork and bodied up well against opposing big, senior Sam Godwin. Kline had multiple strips deep inside the paint, creating some great opportunities for his teammates in transition.
These two teams proved why they deserve a spot at the top of the 6A class and have a long season ahead to grow as a team. Southmoore will thrive with their high-tempo defense oriented play and Edmond Memorial will look to get set in their offense and use their skill to create open looks from behind the three point line.
