However, Del City and coach Lenny Hatchett face a new obstacle in 2021: bumping-up to class 6A. Hatchett has a track record of success from Mount Saint Mary’s to Edmond Santa Fe, where he obtained experience coaching at the 6A level.
This season coach Hatchet will have a plethora of talent and leadership to lead Del City to another state tournament birth.
In addition to Young, Del City will feature two other talented seniors: Javeon McCalister Javeon McCalister 6'0" | SG Del City | 2021 State OK , who is a playmaker and defensive aficionado, and Sherrod Davis Sherrod Davis 6'4" | PF Del City | 2021 State OK , who uses his size and strength to have his way against the majority of his competition.
Sophomore forward Terry McMorris Terry McMorris 6'5" | SF Douglass | 2023 State OK is a talented young player that fits the mold of one of Hatchet’s typical lineups: quick and athletic. Morris has improved immensely since last season, looking more coordinated and developing into his 6-foot-5 frame. Expect a leap from this sophomore this season.
Brandon Garrison Brandon Garrison 6'8" | C Evans | 2023 State #33 Nation OK may be the most promising prospect of them all. The 6-foot-8-inch forward pieced together an outstanding highlight reel during the summer, and now the sophomore looks to make an immediate impact for the Eagles behind his powerful defensive game and developing offensive arsenal.
Guard Ladarius Crutchfield is also looking to make a greater impact for Del City this season.
Del City was on a roll in 5A the past couple seasons, but it would be a tall order for any team in the state to make the leap from one class to another. If any team is built for that task, however, it’s Del City. This well-coached, highly athletic team has aspirations to be a powerhouse regardless of classification.
