6A East Players To Watch In Regional First Round

The veteran you need on the floor as much as possible! Mr. get the job done, on the boards, behind the arc, at the rim, in transition, on defense, it doesn’t matter Cook will get it done. I have watched this young man develop over the years and his hunger to hone his craft and improve his game is what separates him the most for me compared to other athletes in his class. To me the backbone of this Broken Arrow team and with an undefeated season hanging in the balance Dason and the Tigers aren’t looking rot take any prisoners as he closes the chapter to his high school career with eyes set on a 6A State Title.

Athletic and fearless with a high IQ for the game makes Justice Sutton Justice Sutton 6’5″ | SF Broken Arrow | 2023 State OK a dangerous asset for the Tigers going into the playoffs. Sutton has a high motor with a smooth demeanor at times it seems like the reads and decisions he makes on the court are so effortless as he gets after it. Excellent and controlling pace on the offensive and defensive side of the game a great option to have the ball in his hands in late game situations which their are bound to be a lot of in this potentially deep playoff push for the Tigers.

DO NOT LEAVE HIM OPEN! Dow is one of the reasons BA can be so deadly inside because you must constantly shade to him on defense because their is no hesitation from the time the ball touches his hands to it falling through the net when he’s got a clean look, providing the spacing for intentional paint touches by the Tigers. Dont get twisted Connor is more than just a 3pt specialist, but scrappy on defensive and intentional on fast breaks finding his lane getting in position to finish. Connor Dow Connor Dow 6’6″ | SF Broken Arrow | 2023 State #252 Nation OK is a pure scorer and is a handful alongside his Broken Arrow co-cast.

Mann amongst boys! I don’t think there’s a big man in all 6A looking forward to trying handle Brandon Mann Brandon Mann 6’5″ | SF Owasso | 2023 State OK in these upcoming weeks. Mann is athletic and strong around the rim. He can push the ball out on the break and initiate the offense or get out on the run and attack the rim with reckless abandon but completely under control a thing of beauty. Aggressive and active on the boards combine with grown man strength and a series of post moves that you mix with his quickness make him a problem especially for taller slower big man. The passion with which Brandon plays the game delivers the potential of a generational talent that is going to be a problem these upcoming weeks and going to give the Owasso Rams a major boost!

Mr. Smooth Operator, Parker is another athlete I have watched consistently hone his craft and not settle for average or what’s acceptable but strive for what’s unexplainable. The catalyst and motor for this young Bixby Spartans team Parker leads with poise and confidence and understands the balance of taking the game into his hands and trusting his teammates. One thing I love about Friedrichsen’s age is his fluid movements and ability to get to his spots easily and get the shots he wants sometimes with just a sliver of separation. The recently announced Wake Forest commit is playing with something to prove and this chip on his shoulder cause Bixby to find themselves within grasp of a 6A State Title.
