Lakota Beatty, Anadarko

Beatty, a junior point guard, already has offers from Tulsa and Oral Roberts, and more are sure to come. She averaged 18.6 points and 5 rebounds and led the Warriors to the Class 4A state championship. Her numbers could've been even stronger, but the unselfish Beatty often focused on creating offense for her teammates.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Courtney Walker, Edmond Santa Fe

Walker is The Oklahoman's Player of the Year for the second straight year. The Texas A&M signee led Edmond Santa Fe to an unbeaten season and another Class 6A state title, saving her best performances for the biggest stages. She took over the semifinal and championship games in the second half when the Wolves were struggling, and her amazing block in the final seconds of the title game secured the win over rival Edmond Memorial.

Taylor Cooper, Shawnee

Cooper, an Oral Roberts signee, has been part of two straight state championship teams. She helped lead Bethel to the 3A title as a junior before moving to Shawnee for her senior year. Cooper is tall at 5-foot-11, but has a dangerous outside game to go with her strong inside presence. She averaged 13.2 points and 6.1 rebounds as a senior.
