Tyler Tate Senior basketball standout Tyler Tate averaged 17.0 points per game this season to lead the Bulldogs. Tate also recorded 228 rebounds, 42 steals and 52 assists on the year. Tate was named to the VYPE Top 100 at the start of the season and is expected to play college basketball in the fall.

Tanner Leonard Tanner Leonard of Elgin High School represented his school very well at this year’s state wrestling tournament. Leonard won his opening bout, 9-7 over Brayden Hayes of Vinita, but in the semifinals Leonard lost to eventual state runner-up Dayton Garrett of Tuttle. Leonard finished the 2013 season with a record of 37-8 overall.

Taylor Wattenbarger Taylor Wattenbarger took the long way to a third place finish at the state wrestling tournament after a tough loss in the first round. But Wattenbarger won three matches to bring home a third place finish when he defeated J.T. Andrews of Muskogee, 1-0 in an exciting bout. Only a junior, Wattenbarger is looking forward to his senior season.

Brandon BoggsLawton Ike second baseman Brandon Boggs is known for his excellent defensive play, which was showcased during a recent game against Edmond Santa Fe. Boggs is quick on the bases adding to the already fast Lawton Ike team. Boggs and the Eagles are improving and looking like a solid team this year.

Colby Powers Junior wrestler Colby Powers recently placed third at the state wrestling tournament with an 8-4 decision over Clayton Lamb from Del City. Powers only defeat came against the eventual champion in the semifinals. Powers becomes another wrestler from Lawton Mac to place at state, but his focus is to become a state champion as a senior next year.

26 | State Wrestling MeetSeveral wrestlers from the SWOK area had an impressive showing at the state wrestling tournament this year. Did Lawton Mac catch Collinsville and how many titles did Tuttle walk away with?

One Career Closes, Another Begins Lakota Beatty ends her high school career on a high note as she was voted Miss Basketball 2013. Beatty averaged 20.1 points and 4.7 rebounds a game this season leading Anadarko to a 27-2 record and a state tournament appearance. Beatty and the Lady Warriors were

crowned champions in 2012 adding to her already stellar career. But as her career comes to an end I can’t help but wonder what freshman has started a new high school career and who’s name may grace the Miss Basketball trophy in the future.

Another honor we give out for every sport is the All-VYPE teams. The winter edition is announced in this issue and we’re proud to say this group of athlete’s is impressive.

CLASS B BOYS After coming up short a year ago, Arnett made sure there was no repeat, downing Coyle 71-60, for the school’s first boys basketball title.

Two-time VYPE Top 100 player Tyler Tune registered 39 points and 21 rebounds in the championship game. Held to just seven points in the first half, Tune rattled off 32 second-half points, including 22 points in the final 11 minutes of the game.

“We came ready to play and we knew that if we stuck to our game, they

would probably start to get tired,” said Tune about the second half comeback over Coyle.

“He is something else,” said Trevor Bryant. “He is absolutely unstoppable. People try to double and triple him and he still scores 30 points a game.”

Bryant turned in his own impressive game, scoring 17.

Fidel Simpson scored 20 points to lead Coyle. Ryan Weathers added 16 but Arnett held senior Tony Aska in check. The 6-foot-6 post player scored just four points, 16 below his scoring average.

In the semifinals, Arnett had just four players score including three in double figures with 21 from Ryne Friesen, 16 from Tune

and 10 from Bryant.

The Wildcats (23-8) opened the tournament with a 72-52 win over Big Pasture, led by Tune with 30. Nicholas Smith chipped in 16 with Bryant and Friesen scoring 11 apiece.

GIRLS Makenzie Janz’ conventional three-point play lifted Erick past Lomega 56-53 in double overtime to give the Bearcats their second state championship and first since 1977.

The Oklahoma state basketball tournament was one to remember. We had upsets, buzzer-beaters, shocking events and dramatic endings. This was one of the best basketball post-seasons ever.

Erick used a 12-8 third period run to forge a 32-all tie with the top-ranked Raiders. It looked as though the Bearcats would win in regulation after building an eight-point lead in the fourth period. But Lomega went on a 13-0 run.

Needing some last minute heroics, Erick’s Maranda Janz buried a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc to send the game to overtime.

“I knew that if I had just a little bit of room I needed to get off a shot, I would,” Maranda Janz told The Oklahoman. “It went in. I don’t know how, but it did and I thank

God for that.”

Maranda Janz finished with a team-high 21 points followed by Kelsey Brinkley and Shyli May with 12 apiece.

Taylor Mendel led Lomega with 24 points, followed by 10 from Charity Geis.

Erick needed overtime in its semifinal game victory over Shattuck, 51-44.

CLASS A BOYS Hunter Hall scored a game-high 24 points to lead second-ranked Glencoe past No. 1 Weleetka, 54-50, and claim the Class A championship. Hall, a sophomore post player, was 11-of-19 from the field. Teammate Jake Lazenby chipped in 12 points and Ty Lazenby added 10 for the Panthers, who finished the year 32-1.

Glencoe coach John Lazenby predicted Hall would have a breakout game.

“Hunter got in the middle of Weleetka’s 3-2 zone and had a field day,” the coach told The Oklahoman.

Caleb Wittman scored 17 and was one of four players in double figures for Weleetka. Montana Gormly added 12 followed by Shaun Benacoma with 11 and Jeremiah Winney with 10.

Against Sterling, Ty Lazenby poured in 35 points with teammates Jake Lazenby and Kagen Castleberry scoring 16 and 10 apiece. Ty Lazenby finished with 70 points overall.

GIRLS Okarche battled back through the Area Consolation bracket then

swept the competition to earn the Class A state title at the Big House in Oklahoma City.

“These girls worked very hard and did a wonderful job in battling through adversity,” said legendary coach Cherie Myers. “I couldn’t be more proud.”

Junior Morgan Vogt scored a game-high 21 points and cousins Madi, Kenadey and Rae Grellner combined for 32 points in the 12-point victory over Cheyenne.

“It’s so much better than I ever thought it would be,” said Madi Grellner. “I’ve been dreaming of this for so long and for it to finally happen is amazing.”

The Lady Warriors buried 11 3-pointers in the opening round to dispatch Sterling 57-47.

Okarche dominated semifinal opponent Turner, 52-24, behind a 24-point effort from sophomore forward Madison Lee. Vogt added 19 and Kenadey Grellner chipped in 12 in the lopsided win.

Emotions overflowed for Okarche following the state title game. The team was playing for classmate Lee Brueggen, who died in a car accident in November.

“He was always in our student section cheering us on,” said

CLASS 2A BOYS Jake Collins and Brady Johnson scored 47 and 42 points respectively over three days, making sure Latta’s first trip to the championship would result in victory. Collins contributed 10 points and nine rebounds and Johnson added seven points and seven rebounds. Senior Trent Storts hit a game-high 18 points and Kade Hayes chipped in 15.

For veteran coach Donnie Husband, this was also his first state title in 30 years of coaching.

Following the victory, Husband told the Tulsa World, “Oh my gosh. I’ve been doing this for 30 years and seen a lot of friends win this. I’m proud of our kids.”

The Panthers opened the tournament with a 58-43 victory over Talihina, led by 21 points from Johnson, 14 from Storts and 12 from Collins.

Against Chouteau, the trio of Collins, Johnson and Hayes combined for 50 points in the tam’s 65-41 victory.

Husband reflected on the championship 48 hours later.

“We had our last meeting (Monday) and it’s the first time I haven’t had to console anyone,” said Husband, whose team finished 29-3. “It’s just different. It’s such a blessing, especially for Jake and Trent, our seniors. We had three different leading scorers three different days. It’s a memory no one can ever take away from them. I hope it isn’t the best thing they ever do, but it sure is a special, special accomplishment.”

GIRLS LaNesia Williams, T’ona Edwards and Jaelyn Coleman combined for 41 points as top-ranked Northeast Academy (30-0) completed the perfect season with a convincing 53-36 victory over No. 4 Alva.

The trio finished with a three-day tournament total of 46, 36 and 21 points respectively.

Alva’s Jayden Hobbs was the tournament’s high scorer with 71 points, but was held to 12 in the title game.

Northeast coach Londaryl Perry changed to matchup man defense, hold the Lady Bugs to 15 second-half points.

Meanwhile, the Vikings went to a zone offense and the “floor opened up”, said Perry. “We basically made them pick their poison,” he said.

CLASS 3A BOYS OKC Millwood’s state title might come

under the heading of it’s better to be lucky than good. But then, the Falcons made their own luck following a last-second field goal from a Hugo player in the Falcon basket in the quarterfinals.

From there, Millwood used a double-overtime 59-57 win against top-ranked Centennial to reach the 3A title game where they needed triple overtime to dispatch Okemah 59-53.

The title was the 15th in the Falcons’ storied history, but undoubtedly the most unique.

“Sometimes you get a little lucky, we call it a blessing,” said Millwood coach Varryl Franklin, whose team finished 26-4. “Sometimes when that happens, things just work out. We shot free throws really well and our defense was there all three nights.

“The kids understood. They played with a sense of urgency. My assistant coaches, David Hamilton and Flip Batson, did a great job of preparation.”

Against Okemah, Mike Mays (19), Ashford Golden (17) and Chris Crook (10) combined for 46 points. But it was Cameron Batson’s three free throws in the second overtime to give the Falcons a chance at victory.

In the third extra stanza, Golden drained four free throws, which allowed the Falcons to pull away for the victory.

GIRLS Sulphur emerged in a battle of unbeaten teams, posting a 42-34

victory over Perkins-Tryon to clinch the school’s first girls state title.

Ashley Hughes scored a game-high 15 points to complete the perfect season for the Lady Bulldogs (30-0).

“This was our goal from Day One, to be state champions,” Hughes told The Oklahoman. “To be 30-0 is just icing on the cake.”

After reaching the semis a year ago, Sulphur’s only goal was to win state, head coach Toby Todd said.

Hughes led all state tournament scorers with 59 points. Tierani Richardson and Bailee Eldred chipped in 37 and 34, respectively in the tournament.

Perkins-Tryon Jordan Gorham scored 13 of her team-high 45 tournament points in the finals.

CLASS 4A BOYS In what may become an instant classic, second-ranked Douglass got 51 points from Oklahoma State signee Stevie Clark

to edge top-ranked Roland 82-80 and win its fourth consecutive state championship.

Equally impressive was the offensive exploits of Roland’s Seth Youngblood, who poured in 41 points for the Rangers. Each was on fire from beyond the 3-point line, draining nine treys.

“It was definitely a classic,” said head coach Anthony Andrews, whose team finished 27-3. “Stevie played hurt the whole tournament. To win a state championship, you have to have eight players because every night one guy will be in foul trouble, another fighting nagging injuries, etc.

“We lose six seniors but we will actually be bigger and more athletic next

year. It will be hard to replace 48 points a game (Clark and DeAngelo Smith) but we can do that collectively. They were 70 percent of our offense this year.”

The Trojans went undefeated inside Oklahoma, losing all three games at a tournament in New Orleans. The team was automatic when scoring 80 or more points in a game, which happened on 15 occasions.

In the title game, the lead see-sawed back and forth with Roland taking a 28-26 first-quarter lead. Douglass regained control at intermission 44-41 before being deadlocked at 64 after three periods.

The game really heated up for the two stars in the


Steven Clark

fourth stanza as the pair combined for 29 of the team’s combined 34 points.

Clark’s three-day tournament total was 92 points, the most of any player in the tournament this year. The four-time state champion finished his state tournament career with nearly 300 points. Clark finished with 3,321 career points.

Youngblood followed Clark with 82 points in the tournament.

GIRLS After losing in the title game a year ago, Fort Gibson reclaimed the 4A crown – and its second in three years – with a 58-43 win over St. Mary’s.

And they did it with old-fashioned defense. The Lady Tigers held VYPE Top 100 players Charlotte Roof (Weatherford) and Che’Ron Lewis (Cushing) to seven and two points, respectively, to reach the finals for the third straight year.

Factor in that Fort Gibson held St. Mary’s Kaely Bond – who had 43 points in the Rockets first two games – to two points as well and its easy to see how defense played a role in the title run.

“We held the top three scorers from each team to a total of 11 points,” Fort Gibson coach Jerry Walker said.

Meanwhile, Brooke Palmer recorded a double-double with 21 points and 13 rebounds while teammates Allie Glover added 12 points and VYPE Top 100 guard Savannah Gray chipped in eight points and 10 rebounds in the championship game.

Palmer led the Lady Tigers in scoring all three games, finishing with 64 points.

Walker pointed to the team’s ability to refocus following an Area Tournament loss to Byng as the difference.

“We had been kind of spoiled in that the previous eight years we won the Friday night (winner’s bracket) game of Area,” Walker said. “I’ve grown up a coach’s kid and when you lose there’s a lot of tears shed. After we lost, we went back to the gym, had pizza and talked about Saturday’s

game. We did not talk about the Byng game again.

“It took all our efforts the next game. We had to overcome not only the loss but losing for the first time. We played our best basketball of the season at state because we were wounded animals.”

St. Mary’s had 10 3-pointers in the game, six in the opening half to take the lead at intermission. Aimee Richard led the Rockets with 18 points while teammate Jordan Hagood finished with 10 points and seven rebounds.

Walker praised assistant coaches Denise Gray and Chuck London for their work with the team.

CLASS 5A BOYS Devin Perez and Demari Edwards scored 18 and 15 points each to lead second-ranked Memorial past No. 1 Bishop McGuinness 59-42 and capture the Class 5A state championship at the Mabee Center.

Perez, a senior top baseball prospect who returned to the hardwood after sitting out basketball a year ago to concentrate on his baseball career, led all scorers with 48 points in three games.

“Seems like the bigger games the bigger he played,” Memorial coach Eric Savage said of Perez. “His leadership on and off the court, even if he wasn’t leading us in scoring, his intangibles, work ethic, attitude, he provided the leadership.

“It took him a little bit to shake off the rust. He didn’t decide to play until after school had started. He stayed close with the guys last year. He was a freshman on our team when we lost in the championship game in 2010.”

Edwards finished with a three-day total of 30 points followed by Mike’Quan Deane with 26 points.

David Love and Stephen Amalong scored 13 points apiece for the Fighting Irish in the championship game.

In this the 50th anniversary of Memorial High School, the Chargers (23-5) won their third title under Savage and fifth overall.

“In previous seasons you could point to a certain style but this year’s group I didn’t know which one would be our leading scorer from game to game,” Savage said. “It was a total team contribution. It worked for us, that’s how we were able to get it done. Every essence of the word team symbolized this team.”

CLASS 6A BOYS In the win against the Bombers, VYPE Top 100 players Jordan Woodard Woodard and Shaquille Morris combined for 27 points, including a double-double from Morris, a Wichita State signee, who had 20 points and 12 rebounds. Woodard, an OU signee, had seven points. Holcomb finished with 11.

Torey Noel led Midwest City (27-2) with 20 points.

The Bulldogs (26-2) opened the tournament with a 55-52 win over Broken Arrow then edged Owasso 53-50 in double overtime to advance to the title game for the third consecutive year.

GIRLS Kaylan Mayberry hit five 3-pointers en route to a game-high 22 points to lead Booker T. Washington to a 52-46 victory over No. 2 Bixby and win its first state title since 2009 and first in Class 6A.

Mayberry, the younger sister of TU senior guard Taleya Mayberry and daughter of former NBA player Lee Mayberry, finished with 51 points in three games.

But Mayberry was just one piece of the puzzle for head coach Annette Kennedy, who won her 300th game as head coach of the Lady Hornets.

Our bench played a vital role in the championship run, Kennedy said.

“I think it made us hard to scout,” said Kennedy. “We brought it when we needed it. We improved all year long. The confidence we had in each other built up our teamwork. There were so many good plays that involved multiple players.”

Washington (27-2) ended the season on a 15-game win streak, including a 72-70 over No. 1 Edmond Santa Fe in the semifinals, assuring Class 6A of an all-East final.

Kennedy cited the play of seniors Rachel Block, Mikayla Alexander, Tori Cooks, Sandy Samilton and Danielle Carr and of course, Mayberry, as catalysts for the state tournament run.

“They do the little things that don’t show up in the stat sheet,” Kennedy said. “Rachel was taking charges, playing solid defense. Tori was our energizer bunny all year. She never stops moving whether she’s on the bench or the court. She brought spark and fire to us. Mikayla accepted her role on defense, coming up with a big steal in the championship game.

“Sandy was a big rebounder for us and scored the go-ahead basket over Bixby. Dani is a good shooter. We were down seven against Santa Fe when she came off the bench and hit a big 3-pointer. And Kaylan just kind of took over late in the year. It will be hard to replace those six seniors.”

Stevi Parker and Christina Devers led Bixby (21-8) with 13 and 10 points apiece. Devers finished the tournament with 50, including 31 in the Lady Spartans win over Union. Parker, who has signed with the University of Tulsa, notched 33 points in three games.

Chickasha Surprises in the State Tourney

During the regular season head coach Bryan Merritt and the Chickasha boys basketball team went 6-2 in the month of February with wins that included a 47-32 victory over El Reno who Chickasha had lost to in overtime earlier in the season, and a 55-48 win over then No.13 ranked Noble.

February served as a confidence builder for a team not getting a lot of respect in the rankings.

Heading into the Regional Tournament, Chickasha was a team capable of putting up 60 or more points a game. And defensively the Fighting Chicks were ready to take on anyone who was willing to take the court against them.

Regional play witnessed Chickasha pick up an early win over Tahlequah, 53-50, but they would fall to No. 6 ranked Coweta, 46-69 in the finals.

Chickasha would live to fight another day in the Area Tournament and they opened with a very tough

Guthrie team who were ranked No.21 coming into the contest. Behind the likes of Datious Dufur and E.J. Golightly the Fighting Chicks were too much for Guthrie and they rolled to a 60-46 win.

A must win game came against Bishop Kelley in the Area Consolation Finals with the Comets coming off an excellent season of their own. The ninth-ranked Kelley Comets made it a close game, but Chickasha pulled away in the end winning, 44-41.

Chickasha made the state tournament and the boys played like they felt no pressure. Joey Sylvester (6-4, Sr.) looked like the go-to man coach Merritt was used to seeing. Alongside the play of Golightly the Fighting Chicks proved too much for quarterfinal opponent Southeast, 52-50. The win over the No.3 team in Class 5A was one of the more exciting wins of the year. It also set the stage for Chickasha to attempt to pull of the impossible. Beat No.1 ranked Bishop McGuinness.

In the semifinals of the state tournament the trio of Sylvester, Golightly and Dufur played solid, but it wasn’t enough to defeat the eventual Class 5A champion. The

40-50 loss to the Irish may serve as a springboard for next season.

Younger players had an opportunity to see what it takes to make it that far, maybe they can repeat and make the finals in 2014.

Joey Sylvester was named to the All-Tournament team after averaging 17.0 points per game in the tournament. He averaged 15.9 during the season. Fellow senior E.J. Golightly finished his high school career averaging 22.6 points per game while Datious Dufur accounted for 7.7 ppg.

Overall the Fighting Chicks can hold their heads high for a great season and a memorable run in the state tournament.

CLASS 6A Junior triplets Lance, Joel and Andrew Dixon and teammate Derek White all won their individual weight classes – 182, 195 and 220 and 170 pounds – as Edmond North unseated the East’s clasp on the state’s largest classification, winning the Class 6A State Tournament with 125.5 points. The Huskies title was the first for the West in the state’s largest classification since 2007-08 when Midwest City won back-to-back titles in Class 5A.

The Dixon triplets alone accounted for 68 of the Huskies points.

“We had a 34-point lead after the first day and I felt pretty confident,” Edmond North coach Andy Schneider said. “I was still a little worried because we knew Broken Arrow had a chance.

“It’s been a stepping stone process. First we were the No. 1 team in the West but we wanted to be the best in the state. It’s a big deal because East teams have dominated 6A the last few years.”

Broken Arrow, which was going for its

fourth straight title, finished second with 98.5 points.. The Tigers crowned a pair of champions in junior Tanner Bailey (145) and senior Carlos Taylor (285). Defending 106-pound champion Markus Simmons dropped a 7-5 overtime decision to Yukon’s Boo Lewallen at 120 pounds.

“Tanner took third as a freshman, second as a sophomore and won a title this year. He’s a fantastic kid, hard worker,” Tigers coach Shawn Jones said. “Carlos is a program kid. He had a phenomenal season. He only lost once against in-state competition. He’s a kid who only weighs about 230 and wrestled heavyweight. He’s very athletic and a good wrestler.

“Markus had one of the two greatest matches in the tournament. Both those guys are sophomores. We look for great things from Markus the next two years.”

A new champion was crowned in Class 6A while three repeat champions were crowned in Classes 5A, 4A and 3A. Tuttle won its fifth straight in Class 4A, Collinsville captured its third consecutive while Perry won for the fourth time in the last five years in 2A and for the 39th time overall.

CLASS 5A Top-ranked Collinsville crowned five individual champions to win its third consecutive state title. Senior Dylan Helms (145) and juniors Will Stelzlen (132) and Gary Wayne Harding (138) also all won titles for the third consecutive year. Christian Moody (106) started the victory streak with a 7-1 decision over Lawton Mac’s Briar Adams at 106 pounds. Davion Jefferies followed with a third-period pin of Skiatook’s Ricky Kriege at 113 pounds. Stelzlen picked up a 3-1 decision over Lawton Mac’s Adrian Gaines followed by Harding’s 5-0 win over Lawton Mac’s Brok Williams. Helms picked up the Cardinals’ final individual championship with a 2-1 decision over Guthrie’s Bryan Dutton.

“We lose three seniors, but we had nine finalists and of those, we only lose two,” Collinsville coach Wes Harding said. “We’ve got some young kids waiting.”

So, what’s the secret to the Cardinals

success?

“You just take it one season at a time,” said coach Harding. “And that first season we might have gotten a little lucky. We were really young that year. But things happen for a reason. The last two years we’ve been very solid. This year I knew would be our best season because of our seniors (Helm, Zach Abkemeier and Jake Barton).”

Lawton Mac finished second again this year, led by state champion Garrett Shaw at 220 pounds. The Highlanders finished with 122.5 points.

Shaw decisioned Guthrie’s Conner Howard 8-3. Adams (106), Gaines (132) and Williams (138) finished second in their weight classes.

Deer Creek’s Cole Pacheco gave the Antlers their only state champion at 170lbs. Pacheco defeated Abkemeier of Collinsville, 4-1.

CLASS 4A Anchored by six state titlists, Tuttle won its fifth consecutive state championship running away with the title with a school-record193 points.

The Tigers crowned champions at Blake Dauphin (113), Gunner Laffoon (132), Dakota Head (145), four-time champion Zach Beard (170), Dustin Mason (220) and Nathan Jackson (285). Sallisaw and Cascia Hall each crowned a pair of champions to finish third and fourth, respectively.

Beard won a state title for the fourth straight year, making him 30th wrestler in the state to do so since the 1930s.

The Tigers put all 12 wrestlers in the semifinals to give the team a huge lead going into the final day.

“We really wrestled well,” Tuttle coach Matt Surber said. “We sent seven to the finals and won six weights.”

Laffoon and Jackson were repeat champions.

Tuttle graduates five seniors, including three state champions.

“But the good news is we had three underclassmen win state titles,” Surber said. ‘We’ve got some good young kids who will be in the lineup next year. When you have freshmen able to make the varsity lineup, the cupboard is never bare.”

Gage Stallworth was Cushing’s lone state champion, winning the 160-pound title with a 3-2 decision over Blanchard’s Braden Stringer to finish second as a team with 82 points.

Sallisaw and Cascia Hall each crowned a pair of champions to finish third and fourth respectively in the team standings.

CLASS 3A Perry qualified five wrestlers for the championship finals and crowned David Thomas at 160 pounds. Dalton Revels (106), Noah Nida (120), Colton Looper (145) and Austin Perry (152) all finished second to give the Maroons their third title in the last four years.

“We had it wrapped up after the first round (Saturday),” Perry coach Ronnie Delk told the Tulsa World. “I have a

really young team and they are not used to this environment and excitement. It got to a few of them.

“I am so happy for these boys. Even the ones that came up short they put in their time and worked to get to this championship.”

Owen Simpson recorded a 4-2 decision over Dalton Revels of Perry to win the 106-pound division and lead Tonkawa to a second place finish with 83.5 points.

Newkirk crowned three champions, beginning with back-to-back titles for Briar Stopp (113) and Erik Juanes (120). David Dowell also won a title at 170 pounds.

Berryhill had two champions with Jonce Blaylock (138) and OSU-signee Davey Dolan (145).

Lakota BeattyFrom the VYPE Top 100 (50 Boys and 50 Girls), we have whittled down the list to 20, then to the 10 Finalists. We now salute the 2013 Miss Basketball Oklahoma Lakota Beatty. A consensus was taken from coaches and media personnel all over the state and Beatty won a close race with Jenks’ Jessica Washington.

Lakota BeattyAnadarko WarriorsSr. 5-9 Guard Lakota Beatty has been a driving force in the success for the Anadarko Lady Warriors. During her senior campaign in 2012-2013, Beatty led her team to a 27-2 record and a return to the Class 4A State Tournament semifinals. Known as a gym rat, the multi-talented guard averaged 20.1 points, 5.6 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game. Beatty’s talents helped the Lady Warriors claim the gold ball as winner of the 2012 Tournament of Champions. Last year as a junior, Beatty helped to guide coach Jeff Zinn’s club to the Class 4A championship with a 29-1 record. “Lakota brings it all every night,” said Zinn. “She not onl y delivers scoring but is just as effective with her defensive skills, as well as getting rebounds on both ends of the court.” Beatty will continue her basketball career on the collegiate level after signing a letter of intent with Oklahoma State University.
