He had team highs in 15 points and 7 rebounds, powering Edmond Memorial to the semifinals of Class 6A. While he's good at taking contact on drives, he also has a quality, soft touch floater that makes him a handful to stop.  Seniors make huge plays in March and he's a big reason why the Bulldogs are still dancing.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1475983"],"_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 athletically gifted wing-forward prospect often does the dirty work of playing big and tough around the rim for the Bulldogs.  So some of his work may go unnoticed but he still flashed with a couple highlight reel plays. There was a huge athletic pin block at the rim, then a couple big time, acrobatic finishes that few in Oklahoma could replicate.  While Memorial is still live for a State Championship, keep an eye for the athletic 2025 prospect to shine in the more wide open style of AAU basketball this spring and summer.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1807981"],"_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 tough shot making senior was a handful to deal with his variety of off the dribble moves.  While also connecting on back to back spot up threes in the third quarter that looked like it would help Deer Creek separate.  Linsenmeyer had a team high 15 points, including shooting 50% from the three point line.  Colleges tend to like shooters, especially those are adept on and off the ball, so expect the senior to find a home at a regional Oklahoma small college this spring.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Ky Kogul","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Deer Creek","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Another Antler senior who went out hitting big shots, Kogul was on fire in the first half hitting three times from deep. Including a corner three late in the second quarter.  He would tie Linsenmeyer for high point honors for Deer Creek with 15 points.  The senior can also be a scrapper around the basket, and with the perimeter shot making he showed today, he has a bit of a inside-outside feel to his game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1332074"],"_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":"It's March. It's Lloyd Noble Center. That can only mean one thing for Class 6A, it's [player_tooltip player_id='1332074' first='Dylan' last='Warlick'] time.  The senior continued to add to his impressive high school resume with another dominating performance under the bright lights. Warlick continues to be a ferocious rebounder and finisher around the basket. While incorporating fantastic body control around the rim and improved driving skills.  The gravity he creates on post ups and drives, opens up cutting lanes and open shooters along the perimeter. Warlick has become a fantastic passer and reader of the game, as evident by the 5 assists he was credited with. He was likely responsible for more points if counting hockey assists. The senior also had 23 points and 9 rebounds.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1482832"],"_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":"Joining Warlick in forming a bruise brothers combo downlow, Potts had a productive 9 point and 7 rebound game. The chemistry the two have around the rim, or Warlick in the high post is one of the most lethal scoring combinations in 6A.  The physical senior also crashes the glass hard, as one of the best offensive rebounders in Okahoma.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1585764"],"_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":"All three of the Lopers brothers had their moments throughout a contest, that featured the tough shot making ability of the trio. Let's focus on senior Gavin, in his final high school game. He was super efficient in his scoring, never forcing a bad look as he went 6-7 from the field on the way to 13 points. The senior guard had his trademark one legged turnaround going, and had some great strong finishing through contact throughout.  Loper had a strong senior campaign, and should be appealing to regional colleges due to his ability to play on and off the ball.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["2223702"],"_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":"One of the breakout players this season, the sophomore had an excellent two-way game when battling against the Huskies.  While he'll benefit from adding strength as he matures, Antwi-Donkor still held his own in one on one match ups against the upperclassmen laden Huskies. He already has a great balance between trying to use hands to knock the ball loose or just playing with his feet and walling off drives to the rim.rnrnOffensively, Antwi-Donkor continued to show promising signs as a perimeter shooter. Going 3-8 from distance. His improving shot, combined with his next level athletic ability (he has an ease to his movements, combined with suddenness explosiveness) continues to track him as one of the must watch prospects in Oklahoma's Class of 2026.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1552319"],"_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":"Three pointers weren't falling for Montonati, but that didn't stop him as he went to work in the mid-range and in the paint. He produced a 20-10 double double, with a mixture of tough fall away jumpers and scrapping around the basket.  The highly touted sophomore is a marked man with a target on his back, and he keeps fighting and finding ways to produce.  Now, he has Owasso back in the Class 6A semifinals just like last year.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1579598"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"Joining Montonati in establishing dominance in the paint for the Rams, Kerr had a strong 16 point, 7 rebound, 3 blocks performance.  The junior's sheer size advantage makes him one of the top paint deterrents in Oklahoma. Especially as he has embraced the more physical aspects of basketball, and uses great defensive verticality principles to impact shots he doesn't swat away.  Owasso is striving for a Gold Ball, and Kerr's impact is a big reason why. With a big spring and summer ahead at the 17U level against a national schedule, the big man will have opportunities to become a popular name among college coaches.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_10_player":["1195717"],"_player_evaluations_10_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"Seniors are often the difference makers come March and that's exactly what Ochoa was today. While it was a total team effort for the Tigers in stiffing the high power Union offense, it was the senior shooting guard who helped bust the game open.  He caught fire in the third quarter, and his big three pointers helped the BA lead balloon to over 20 points. Ochoa finished with a team high 17 points, including going 4-6 from three.","_player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_11_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_11_player_details_player_name":"Acyion Clemons","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_11_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_11_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_11_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_11_player_details_school":"Broken Arrow","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_11_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_11_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_11_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_11_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"Another senior who's peaking at the right time, Clemons stepped up as a huge part of Broken Arrow packing the paint on the defensive end. He swarmed the taller Union defenders, with active hands and good strength to be a deterrent, which helped Broken Arrow run away with a decisive victory. Along with his defensive effort, he used his bouncy abilities and strong frame to break into double figures with 12 points.","_player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":12,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e8a3b349240"} /-->
