The Oklahoma City player of the week is Douglass’ Marquis Buxton-Hill.
Hill scored 22 and pulled down 12 rebounds in the Class 4A No. 1 Trojans’ 84-73 win over Star Spencer on Saturday night.
After the win, Buxton-Hill said he believed the Trojans were the best team in the state regardless of class and it’s hard not to agree with him right now.
The Trojans will enter the playoffs undefeated and Buxton-Hill is a huge reason why.
