Altus Area Underclassmen to Watch – Presented by Ford

Boys Basketball

Hayes Porter – Hobart

An outstanding basketball player and athlete, Hayes looks to make an impact on the court for the Bearcats this season.

Maddux Skorepa – Hollis

Maddux is a solid combo guard that has good size and strength for his age, with sneaky good athletic ability. He has worked on his perimeter shooting in the off-season and is more than capable of hitting threes consistently which will make him a tough guy to guard. 

Diego Telles – Mangum

Diego played a lot as a freshman and is looking to have a bigger impact offensively his sophomore season. He will guard the opposing team’s best player every night and has a chance to have a huge impact on the season. 

Girls Basketball

Hayden Castillo – Altus

Castillo is a point guard and a strong ball handler. She shoots the ball well and pllays great defense. 

Finnley Talley – Hobart

Finnley is not afraid to put in the work and is continually improving her game. She should make a solid contribution to the team’s success this year.

Lilli Whorton – Hollis

Lilli is a sophomore with a lot of potential. She is great on the boards and has worked hard in the offseason to improve her footwork on post moves. She is a strong defensive presence and will be a huge asset on both ends of the floor. 

Hanna Stehr – Mangum

Hanna started as a freshman on the team last year. Her role will be different this season, but she is up for the challenge. Being a starter last season will give her confidence and knowledge of what to expect, especially playoff time.
