Under the Radar Weekend Tournament Stars

A busy weekend of tournament action across the state provided another strong measuring stick as the high school season continues to gain momentum. While much of the attention has understandably been focused on the state's most well-known prospects, several players competing in under-the-radar events delivered performances that demand recognition. These tournaments offered a closer look at players who are continuing to refine their games, elevate their teams, and assert themselves as impactful contributors. Below is a deeper dive into some standouts whose performances stood out both statistically and on film.   [player_tooltip player_id='1552387' first='Hudson' last='Onan'] | SR | Guard | Oklahoma Christian School [player_tooltip player_id='1552387' first='Hudson' last='Onan'] turned in one of the more complete performances of the weekend at the Dale Tournament, consistently impacting the game on both ends of the floor. The 6'0” senior guard displayed a polished offensive arsenal, highlighted by his ability to score efficiently from the perimeter while also serving as a steady playmaker for OCS. Onan's shooting ability was on full display, as he showed a smooth, repeatable release and deep range that forced defenses to extend well beyond the arc.   Saturday night marked his most impressive outing, as he caught fire from three-point range against a talented Dale squad, knocking down shots in a variety of situations — off the catch, off the dribble, and in transition. Beyond his scoring, Onan demonstrated excellent command of the offense, handling pressure effectively and creating quality opportunities for teammates through drive-and-kick action and timely ball movement. His feel for spacing and pace allowed OCS to maintain offensive flow throughout the weekend. As the season progresses, Onan's ability to stretch the floor, make sound decisions with the ball, and serve as a reliable scoring threat will be a crucial component of OCS's success.   [player_tooltip player_id='2802376' first='Heustin' last='Stroops'] | SR | Wing | Terra Verde [player_tooltip player_id='2802376' first='Heustin' last='Stroops'] emerged as a dominant two-way presence at the Community Christian Tournament, putting together multiple high-level performances en route to All-Tournament Team honors. The 6'7” senior wing was instrumental in Terra Verde's championship run, providing consistent production on both ends of the floor. For the tournament, Stroops averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game, numbers that only begin to tell the story of his overall impact.   Offensively, Stroops showcased his versatility by scoring at all three levels. He knocked down perimeter shots at an impressive 50% clip from beyond the arc, spacing the floor and punishing defensive rotations. His size and length allowed him to score over smaller defenders, while his improved touch and shot selection kept him efficient throughout the event. Defensively, Stroops was just as impactful, using his length and timing to protect the rim and disrupt passing lanes. His three blocks per game were often momentum-shifting plays that energized his team and limited second-chance opportunities for opponents.   Perhaps most impressive was Stroops' leadership and poise during key moments, as he consistently made winning plays while guiding Terra Verde to a tournament championship. His combination of size, shooting ability, defensive presence, and competitive edge makes him a player whose stock continues to rise as the season unfolds.   [player_tooltip player_id='2140786' first='Riley' last='Sneller'] | JR | Guard | Bishop McGuinness   Sneller continues to impress as the season progresses, further establishing himself as a steady and reliable presence for McGuinness. Although the Irish came up just short in a hard-fought title game at the Harrah Tournament, Sneller was a standout throughout the weekend, consistently delivering high-level performances against quality competition. His ability to remain composed and play under control consistently sets him apart, particularly in high-pressure situations where decision-making and poise are critical.   The semifinal victory over Shawnee marked a significant step forward for the program, and Sneller played a pivotal role in that win. He knocked down timely three-point shots that halted opposing runs and forced the defense to extend, while also proving to be a consistent threat attacking the basket. Sneller did an excellent job getting into the paint with purpose, playing off two feet, and maintaining balance, which allowed him to finish efficiently or make the right read when help defenders collapsed.   The 6'2 guard used his size and strength effectively, showcasing soft touch around the rim and the ability to absorb contact without losing control. His shot selection and efficiency stood out over the course of the tournament, as he consistently made winning plays while keeping the offense organized. Overall, Sneller's performance at Harrah further reinforced his value as a dependable guard who can score at all three levels while maintaining a strong command of the game.   [player_tooltip player_id='2138641' first='Kamonz' last='Shaw'] | SR | Guard | Del City   The 5'11” guard delivered an outstanding performance at the Joe Lawson Invitational, playing a key role in propelling the Eagles to the championship game. Throughout the tournament, Shaw consistently rose to the occasion against quality competition, earning All-Tournament Team honors after posting double-figure scoring efforts against both Midwest City and Norman. He finished the event averaging 15.6 points per game, serving as a reliable offensive catalyst and late-game option for his squad.   Shaw's defining moment came in the semifinal matchup against Norman, where he took over in the fourth quarter and swung the momentum decisively in the Eagles' favor. He showcased his ability to perform under pressure, making timely plays and delivering multiple momentum-shifting baskets that energized his team. His confidence and shot-making were on full display late, highlighted by a clutch corner three-pointer with just over three minutes remaining that gave the Eagles a lead they would not relinquish. Shaw's poise, scoring instincts, and ability to deliver in critical moments were instrumental in the Eagles' tournament run and underscored his value as a dependable guard in high-leverage situations.
