Edmond POW: Daniel Emesiani, North...

Guess I let the cat out of the bag on this selection on Sunday when I said the way Daniel Emesiani played in the McGuinness Classic was the biggest thing I was taking from the three-day event.

Had a day to evalutate that statement, and I feel the same way. Because of his phenomenal outings at the Classic, Emesiani of Edmond North is more than worthy of being named the Edmond Player of the Week.

Emesiani has decent size. OK, well, good size. The problem is he is the only post threat right now for the Huskies, meaning he is getting bumped around all game.

It doesn’t matter as like I said before, Emesiani is relentless. He’s tough inside and knows how to finish. You know when he gets it on the block, it’s going to go in.

His outing at McGuinness: 21 (Norman North), 23 (Carl Albert) and 20 (Deer Creek) points as North upset previously undefeated Norman North before placing fourth.

Opposing coaches rave about his ability and tenacity, and now I understand why.

He could very well find himself in this spot next week as the Huskies can make a statement with wins against Yukon and rival Santa Fe.
