<p>Thirteen out of the top twenty teams finished with five losses or fewer in Class 2A. That stat alone should tell you all you need to know about the competition level of this class. This class featured an impressive group of teams and players that included lots of offensive firepower. This surely would’ve been one of the most exciting battles to watch at the state tournament.</p>
<p>MVP: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="609804" first="Jacob" last="Woody"]</strong> Cashion</p>
<p>Woody averaged <strong>18 points</strong> with <strong>11 rebounds</strong> and added <strong>4 assists</strong> and <strong>two blocks</strong> per night. That is the definition of stuffing the stat sheet. He also did this while playing with three legitimate other scoring threats at Cashion. Woody is 6’3 and had the most rebounds in almost every game he played in. He’s a sniper from deep with unlimited range, lengthy, and can get to the rim with ease. He and other senior Alex Nabavi helped lead Cashion to state this year. Woody, an unsigned senior, will make a college very happy.</p>
<p><em>First Team</em></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="931195" first="Austin" last="Fenton"]</strong> Talahina</p>
<p><strong>Brayden Oglesby Jr.</strong> Howe</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="609804" first="Jacob" last="Woody"]</strong> Cashion</p>
<p><strong>Cooper Shirley</strong> Minco</p>
<p><strong>Jaden Lietzke</strong> Rejoice Christian</p>
<p>To start off this class is MVP [player_tooltip player_id="609804" first="Jacob" last="Woody"]. Following him is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="931195" first="Austin" last="Fenton"]</strong>. The big man from Talihina has signed to play with UCO. He’s averaged double digits both of the past two years. Next is <strong>Brayden Oglesby Jr</strong> who averaged nearly 20 points per game as he can really get going. He scored with ease as he led Howe to state. Rounding out the first team is Cooper Shirley and Jaden Lietzke. <strong>Shirley</strong>, from Minco, is a high volume shooter and scorer. He put up 22.3 points per game to go along with 5.8 rebounds. He also helped lead the Bulldogs to a perfect 14-0 record against 2A competition. <strong>Lietzke</strong> is a dominant big man from Rejoice who averaged an impressive 17.2 points and 11 rebounds per game.</p>
<p><em>Second Team</em></p>
<p><strong>Weston Church</strong> Fairview</p>
<p><strong>Alex Nabavi </strong>Cashion</p>
<p><strong>Gunnar Gordon</strong> Pawnee</p>
<p><strong>Gage Barham</strong> Rejoice Christian</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="745378" first="Kobey" last="Stephens"]</strong> Wewoka</p>
<p>Starting off the second team is <strong>Weston Church</strong>, who was around 22 points per game, a dominant scorer for Fairview. Following is <strong>Alex Nabavi</strong> who helped Woody guide Cashion to their first state appearance in a very long time. The senior football star was also a star on the court, as he was a strong guard who could shoot lights out, averaging double digits for multiple years at Cashion. <strong>Gordon</strong> is an absolute sniper from long range and was the main reason Pawnee made it to state, as he is one of the best shooters in Oklahoma. Next on the list is <strong>Gage Barham </strong>from Rejoice Christian, who was also a dead eye, even hitting eight three pointers in one game. Last is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="745378" first="Kobey" last="Stephens"]</strong> who was the star player for Wewoka. He was named all tournament MVP and had multiple 30 point performances.</p>
