He paced them in scoring with 25 points and grabbed 6 boards. On a team filled with lightning fast guards, he's a bruiser inside. While also supporting a complete offensive skillset. The bully ball guard has the Falcons in the State Title game, and they are looking to add to their expansive trophy case. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140733"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376bebe6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Team high 22 in the Commandos win. Lowe got the party started with an explosive first half. He's quick and smooth, with one of the best off the dribble shooting games in Oklahoma. Add in the extra gear he has when he pushes it in transition or gets the corner in the halfcourt, and he's a nightmare for defenders. It's a strong redemption story for the youngster. As he was sick during their semifinals game last year. Now, he has Cascia playing for the 3A State Title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552385"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376bec2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morris' breakout junior campaign ended with an impressive 31 points in a hard fought semifinal loss. After Crooked Oak's slow start, it was steady scoring from Morris that first righted the ship. Then helped them chip away at the lead, and making it a close contest down the stretch. He's a slashing wing, who's also gritty and tough around the rim. Strong and quick off the floor, he's active for putbacks. Productive player with room to grow, the future remains bright for Morris. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1295745"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376bec6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burris does a lot of the dirty work for the Commandos. Picks up small guards, because he's quick enough to stay with them. While also having the size and wingspan to match up with forwards. Timely three point shooter as well. Seems to embrace and love his role of doing whatever is needed, giving the young Commando roster a rock to build on. Finished second on the team in scoring with 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1391435"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376becab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The first six quarters of [player_tooltip player_id='1391435' first='CJ' last='Nickson']'s 2025 State Tournament were nothing to write home about. But the future OU Sooner got it going in the third quarter. Then he and his team never looked back. Bruising finishes on post ups. Physical bully ball drives. A steal, then slam in transition. To reach 32 points on the day, it was his free throw shooting that got him and his team over the top. 16 of 18 shooting from the line to be exact. Toss in 11 rebounds and it was a complete day at the office.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of Oklahoma's most gifted athletes of the last Decade, he's been making plays at the Big House since his freshman year. Then finished second as a sophomore and junior. He now will get one more shot at Gold, and he earned it with a dominating game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2332976"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376bece8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lanky shooter, who scored a team high 18 points for the Cougars. Often in upset bids, once the underdog receive push back they tend to wobble a bit. When Weatherford went on an run, it was Coomer who responded and kept NRC punching back. He hit multiple clutch threes in the final 12 minutes or so. Intriguing wild card shooter for JuCos, with good height and a frame that should fill out at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358852"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376bed23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Furnish blistered the nets with a pair of early threes, which put Crossings ahead. A lead they would never give up as cool and calm Cal navigated the Trojan pressure. He always makes the right pass, seeing things no one else in Oklahoma can see. It was more of the same today, with his handles and passing being keys to Crossings handle Douglass' speed and pressure. The Knights only committed 6 turnovers, and that came with the ball heavily in Furnish's hands. The ORU signee finished with 19 points and the most important stat, a win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552365"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d4c376bed5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Game high 25 points for the junior. He connected a couple of times from three early, then kept finding his way to the line. Where he went an impressive 16-19. Including clutch free throws to maintain the lead. Along with the scoring, he did a great job of handling the rock as Crossings' secondary ball handler. It's been a great season of growth for Buckingham, and because of the growth of his handles, his Knights are playing for the Class 4A State Title. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
