Oklahoma High School Report Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season is now well underway and there have been some exciting matches so far.&nbsp; Who has what it takes to win the coveted State Championship?&nbsp; Let's meet a few of the teams and players who are poised for a solid run this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Deer Creek Antlers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Currently sitting at 16-6 overall on the year and first in their district, the Antlers of Deer Creek are making a name for themselves once again.&nbsp; Junior outside hitter Landry Key has been key for their offense as she thunders away at opposing defenses.&nbsp; When she has a clear line of approach and time to attack, the defense better get ready for a laser shot from her cannon.&nbsp; Senior middle [player_tooltip player_id='212419' first='Georgia' last='Byers'] sets the tone for this squad defensively as she patrols the net and puts up a huge block.&nbsp; She is also one of the main attackers for this squad.&nbsp; Super athletic junior outside Kamryn Jackson is a lethal attacker who adds a lot of firepower to this team's offense.&nbsp; She can really fly and pound the ball at will.&nbsp; Junior opposite Amiya St. Ann uses her athleticism and awesome timing on the right side to help battle against opposing outsides at the net.&nbsp; She is quick off of the floor and is not afraid to go up against anyone.&nbsp; The talented lefty also can bring the heat with her whip of an arm.&nbsp; I really like how senior setter CC Wright is moving the ball around to everyone in order to keep the defense off-balance.&nbsp; Her push to the opposite zone during out of system plays is very entertaining to watch as it flies to the right side hitter quickly to create a one on one situation.&nbsp; Senior libero [player_tooltip player_id='212415' first='Morgan' last='Manning'] is one of the best in the business in the back row and we have been covering her for a while.&nbsp; She is one of the main reasons why this squad is ready to compete versus anyone.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Broken Arrow Tigers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sitting at 16-6 on the year is the Tigers of Broken Arrow.&nbsp; In this six-two offense, both setters never come off the court and are the cornerstone of this squad.&nbsp; They both double as setters and right side attackers and they both perform at a high level in both.&nbsp; Super sophomore setter/right side [player_tooltip player_id='610402' first='Aliyah' last='Owens'] is one of those amazing athletic players who can do it all on the court.&nbsp; If you needed her to play at other positions, I guarantee she could in a heart beat.&nbsp; Her counterpart, junior setter/right side Lily Boswell plays defense like she is a libero and doesn't let anything hit the floor.&nbsp; She also can spot serve with the best of them and racks up aces.&nbsp; I love how sophomore libero [player_tooltip player_id='740633' first='Olivia' last='Shanahan'] moves her feet quickly and never raises her posture while pursuing the ball.&nbsp; Senior outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='194097' first='Grace' last='Marshall'] is phenomenal and is not afraid to swing away whether she is in the front row or back row.&nbsp; The kid can really bring the heat.&nbsp; When she connects on the ball, the defense better be set and ready.&nbsp; Other notable players are junior middle [player_tooltip player_id='740695' first='Devine' last='Okon'] and freshman phenom Maddy Hammer, and senior middle [player_tooltip player_id='740700' first='Candace' last='Fuchs'].&nbsp; This team plays very hard together and have some really solid chemistry.&nbsp; They all cheer for each other very well and feed off of each other's energy.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite teams and athletes.&nbsp; If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.&nbsp; Help us help them by simply reposting or sharing on social media.&nbsp; Thanks for following us, Prep Dig Oklahoma Family!&nbsp; Don't be afraid to interact with us.&nbsp; We love the likes, shares, and quotes/comments.&nbsp; Keep them coming!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
