Crossings Christian sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1358852' first='Cal' last='Furnish'] was one of the more impactful freshmen in the state last season and he picked up right where he left off on Tuesday night. Crossings would go on the road and take down defending 3A champion Millwood in their season opener. Furnish would finish with 24 points in the win and he's leading a Crossings team that is absolutely loaded with young talent. Not only will they be a contender this year once again, but they have to be a team to watch over the next several years as the combination of Furnish and freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1552378' first='Phoenix' last='Woodson'] will be fun to watch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1678455"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The game of the night probably took place in Norman as Edmond Memorial would stun the Tigers on the road with a shot right before the buzzer to escape with a 37-36 road win. The Bulldogs would get the ball to junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1678455' first='Ciaran' last='Pedulla'] and he would do the rest as he drove, found a gap in the defense and attacked the basket and finished. The Tigers would get a shot up but it was well defended, including Pedulla helping out to survive with a win. Pedulla would finish with seven points on the night but it was the game-winner that proved to be arguably the biggest shot of Tuesday's games. That's a great win for the Bulldogs going on the road and beating a senior-led Norman team.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1552317"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The only freshman to make this breakdown is Sapulpa freshman guard [player_tooltip player_id='1552317' first='Fabian' last='Harris']. The Chieftains started off the season in style with a strong rivalry win over Sand Springs. Within the win, Harris would lead the Chieftains with 18 points. Sapulpa is a team to look out for in Class 5A, especially when March rolls around. This is a young team that is going to be absolutely battle-tested after playing in the Frontier Conference, which is made up of almost all 6A schools. As the Chieftains square off with top team after top team, they might get some bumps and bruises. But they'll be competing against a tough schedule and they should be better for it when March and the playoffs roll around.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1293531"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"One of the best shooting performances from Tuesday night took place in Vinita as Catoosa would open up their season with a comfortable win on the road. Senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1295663' first='Greyson' last='Lewallen'] shot the lights out of the gym and finished with a game-high 30 points. He would knock down seven shots from beyond the perimeter and it wasn't just his shooting that earned his way onto this list. He also showed that he can play a little defense to go with that shooting as he finished the game with five steals on the night. Catoosa is going to be an interesting team to watch this season under first year head coach Evan Drake. They are in an absolutely loaded Class 4A, but they could surprise a few teams.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1495342"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"In one of the marquee games in Class 5A on Tuesday night, Tahlequah got a strong 59-56 win over Collinsville at home. These two teams will be two of the better teams on the east side of Class 5A this season and a win over the Cardinals will certainly help the Tigers down the stretch. Leading the way was senior big man [player_tooltip player_id='1495342' first='Hayden' last='Smith'], who finished with 21 points in the victory. This was a game that featured two of the better big men in Class 5A with Smith and then Collinsville junior [player_tooltip player_id='1625171' first='Zac' last='Brown']. Smith and the Tigers got the edge on Tuesday night and will use this to get some momentum heading into their tournament they are hosting next week.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1482830"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Get ready to see this name on top performer posts all season. Nathan Hale is no longer a dark horse in Class 5A, they are a serious contender for one of those state tournament spots and could truly contend this season behind junior standout guard [player_tooltip player_id='1482830' first='Kabron' last='Lewis']. The dynamic junior was outstanding last year as a sophomore and he's elevated his game to new heights this season. In the win over East Central on Tuesday night, Lewis would finish with 23 points and continued to show that not only can he fill up the stat sheet, he can also get other players involved. And this isn't just a one man show, the Rangers have some serious talent on the floor and they'll be a team to watch in Class 5A.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1391440"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Fresh off their dominant weekend down in Texas at the Thanksgiving Hoopfest, Putnam City West went on the road and dominated Ponca City 87-56. The Patriots were led by sophomore big man [player_tooltip player_id='1391440' first='Kaidon' last='Rayfield'], who is off to a great start this season. On Tuesday night, Rayfield had 23 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and showed off range on his shooting throughout the night and wasn't just a force in the paint. After three games, the Patriots look like one of the top teams in the state, regardless of class. They have a very talented lineup and they're playing without senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1068573' first='O'rian' last='Scales']. They'll test themselves later this month against Del City before going to Las Vegas for the annual Tarkanian Classic.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1391441"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Mustang went on the road and got a strong rivalry win over Yukon on Tuesday night. The Broncos would beat the Millers 94-71 in a high-scoring affair and they had a sophomore go off. Guard [player_tooltip player_id='1391441' first='Roman' last='Miller'], one of the better known 2025 prospects in the state would score 26 points in the win on Tuesday night. Miller is going to give Mustang another option within the backcourt to go with their senior duo of [player_tooltip player_id='967377' first='Jacobe' last='Johnson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='971558' first='Keegan' last='Bass']. Mustang started out hot on Tuesday night and they'll look to keep that going later this week against Edmond Santa Fe. Then next week they travel to Norman and then will have a tournament in Tulsa at Bishop Kelley later in the week.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1367221"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"We saved the best for last. Not on purpose, the list was done alphabetically. But the best performance of Tuesday night did come from Edmond North junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1367221' first='TO' last='Barrett']. He definitely made a rather loud announcement that not only is he one of the top junior prospects in the state, he's going to be one of the top overall players in Oklahoma this season. Barrett finished with a game-high 33 points in the win, but it was what he did down the stretch that earned his way on this list. Barrett and the Huskies were locked into a battle with Norman North until Barrett would score 14 straight down the stretch, including four shots from beyond the arc to help lead Edmond North to the win.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":9,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6387a51621ba2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
