Ardmore area basketball players to watch – Presented by Excel Therapy

BOYS BASKETBALL

Shedrick Jones – Ardmore

Shedrick will be entering his third year as a starter. He is a rebounding machine, who does the dirty work so the team can be successful.

Cade Ellis – Healdton

Starting for the first time this year, but the only one coming back with meaningful varsity experience. The team will look to Cade for guidance and leadership. Both of which he’ll be able to provide.

Jaxon McClennahan – Lone Grove

Jaxon is a point guard and has a great motor. He can score from the perimeter and his mid-range game continues to improve. Jaxon has very good instincts and will be the key to Lone Grove’s success.

Brian Sanchez – Marietta

Led the team in most of the statistical categories last season. He is very involved on both ends of the court and does not hesitate to dive on the floor for loose basketballs. He was the most valuable returning player from last season as a freshman.

Collin Wharton – Wilson

Collin is a guy who, when he is at his best, the team is at its best. He is an excellent passer with great vision, he does a good job of making people around him better. He has grown into a leadership role and will most likely be a most vocal leader on the floor.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Jaclyn Lara – Healdton

Jaclyn is an outstanding leader and motivator. She is a vocal leader and also leads by example. Practices are fun and the rest of the team follows her lead. Her favorite thing she yells at practice is “a quiet team is a losing team”.

Emilee Hedger – Plainview

Emilee is one of the hardest-working kids you’ll ever meet. She just puts her head down and goes to work every day to get better. She went down with an injury earlier this school year and the impact on the rest of the team was evident. She brings a competitive drive that is constantly pushing her team to that next level and the other girls look to her for a calming presence constantly.

Kalyn Forsythe – Wilson

Kalyn does a lot of great things on and off the floor. She led the team in rebounding and was second on the team in scoring last season. She will look to be a leader for the team this season.
