Edmond boys: Stars galore…

I’m already excited for next season for the Edmond boys’ basketball teams. There are a lot of reasons to be pumped if you’re an Antler, Bulldog, Husky or Wolf fan. I mean a lot.
Santa Fe
The question will be leadership. You just don’t replace leadership like Mahlon Jones and Drew Hall and not miss a beat.
But the talent is most definitely going to be there. It’s going to start with Josh Richardson, who is currently a three-star recruit on rivals.com.
Richardson won’t be alone. We saw glimpses of what Michael Onuoha can do, and he’ll only grow to be bigger and better. Phoenix Bills is quite the shooter and Aaron Anderson is going to be the guy I think will step up more than others think.
Memorial
Oh look out for Shane Cowherd’s boys. Almost all key components of a fun bunch are back. Obi Emegano is going to dominate the headlines (rightfully so) but Jared Jobe and James Woodard are just as vital to this team. When Jobe gets hot from the outside, ooh, is it fun.
And if Kameron Doolittle elects to continue to play basketball after all the football hoopla, he’s not bad there, either. I would peg Memorial as the best Edmond team as of right now.
North
A lot of youth, so it will be interesting to see what happens. Mike Menzel and Daniel Emesiani meant so much to this team in every way possible.
Excited to see the development of Cameron Haley and Tyler Sanders. North was in so many tight ones this season that might be a case of next year’s team learning to win those games.
Deer Creek
Coach Matt Bailey has brought a fire to this team. It’s a real electric atmosphere at Antler games. Replacing Hayden Wagner is going to be tough, but there are some strong pieces back.
The key is going to be finding a balance with Garrett Hermanski, Jalen Burnett and Jurrell Callaway. Those are the three that need to get theirs but need to find a way for all of them to contribute. So many times if one was on, the other was silent.
