When he's dialed in, the Huskie is a joy to watch. One of the few guards in the state who can see the moves multiple steps ahead. Knows how to manage tempo, pushing it to create easy buckets for himself or teammates. While also slowing it down and managing an offense like a throwback point guard. One of the most talented athletes in the state because he also is Edmond North's starting QB.     Litherland has taken to leadership and all around role for his new program. Regularly paces McLoud in multiple stat categories. Along with the intangibles, he's also elevated his scoring. Last fall, he looked to have taken the junior year leap when it comes to athleticism. Looking stronger and twitchier in getting to his spots. Unfortunately, the one in person viewing of McLoud this season came when Litherland on the mend from a bout with the flu. He was still productive, hitting tough mid-range jumpers and getting to the rim. But the impact of the illness was clear as his lift didn't look the same.   A few days later, he was back to his normal self with a 30 ball against 3A contenders Chandler. He is clearly part of the pack of 2027 guards who should be priority targets for regional D2, NAIA and JuCo co programs. And very well could be leading that pack by the end of the summer.     Barber is one of the most productive players in the state for one of the best teams. He's averaging 18.3 points and 7.2 rebounds. He does it by keeping things simple. He's a fantastic catch and shoot option who has had multiple games where he's caught fire from deep. Then when opponents fly out to close out on him, it's showtime with the dunks. While he can hit in the mid-range, he doesn't try to get fancy with dribble combos or complicated moves. He knows who he is and he is thriving.   Add in the rebounding and shot blocking, Barber has turned into one of the more complete players in Oklahoma. And it's not because he's focused on being a "big guard". It's because he's been a basketball player. His versatility and high motor playing style will make him very appealing to college coaches.     After a promising sophomore campaign, Walters has exploded as a consistent scoring option to give the Cardinals a quality one-two punch. Has a nice in-between game to compliment quality perimeter shooting. Attacks close outs, gets into the 4-8 foot range, and then has a soft touch on his floaters. Impacts winning beyond scoring, as he's willing to get his nose dirty on the glass. Super solid all around guard who has seen his hardwork pay off into more production and wins for Collinsville.     A workhorse in the middle, he just powered his Bison to a Regional Class B-2 Championship and upset over 2nd ranked Vici. Hill has been a productive player since starting as a freshman on a Leedey team that also made state. Now he's made a junior leap as a force around the pain. He's been a walking double-double with regular season averages of 22 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. After missing last year, they are now just one win from a State Tournament appearance. Where no team in Class B-2 will look forward to stopping Hill, or trying to score on him.     A transfer from Millwood, Wilson has been tearing it up for his western Oklahoma program. Including a 33 point game against Minco. Has a killer instinct when it comes to forcing turnovers. Even had an 11 steal game in a win over Sayre. Quick hands to rip away loose dribbles and also hunting passing lanes with good anticipation like a DB. Offensively, his speed allows him to thrive in transition. And in highlights he can make defenders pay when they sag off by draining threes.
