The Wolves, though, enter the tournament as the top-ranked team in the class with a 24-2 record.
Shawnee's only losses came to Class 6A state tournament qualifier Bixby and to Chickasha in the final game of the regular season before rolling through the regional and area tournaments.
Yu is averaging 14.2 points and a team-best 5.8 rebounds per game.
Recently, it's been junior guard McKenzie Cooper who has set the tone for the Wolves, averaging 15.9 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Sophomore guard Bailey Taylor has also come on strong, turning in a solid performance in the Wolves' win over Piedmont that sent them into the state tournament.
DEER CREEK BALANCED
It's easy to see why No. 2 Deer Creek has been successful this season when looking over its starters' stats.
Ashley Gibson is the clear leading scorer, averaging 13.4 points but the other four starters all average between 8.8 and 7.4 points per game, giving the Antlers probably the most balanced attack in the tournament.
