Five from Oklahoma that show great playmaking ability

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From the powerhouse school of Norman North, to the excellent clubs that are Oklahoma Energy and Tulsa SC, and to Division I commits to the state's flagship school, the state of Oklahoma is a comer on the scene of girls soccer. The talent is real, the players are immensely gifted and these five are very worthy of praise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='174354' first='Natalie' last='Hoefer'], Central Defender, Tulsa SC, Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoefer is a 2008 that plays up on the Tulsa SC 06/07 ECNL team. She is an exceptional talent who just committed to the University of Oklahoma a few days ago. She is a center back that is not afraid to step up and play high. She will step to a ball on the ground, make a challenge or a tackle on a player pretty far from goal because she is so sure of her skills. She gets her tackles right and her anticipation is top class. She also likes to step up and occupy space in the middle of the pitch when it is there, almost playing like a No. 6, which gives her team more attacking options. She can push the ball up because she is very technically gifted, and she does play an excellent, precisely weighted ball. Lastly, she takes free kicks and they are very lethal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ella Krisher, Forward/Attacking Midfielder, Oklahoma Energy, Class of 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Krisher is a 2009 who plays up on the 2008 Oklahoma Energy ECNL team. She attends Edmond High and for both club and school she can play as a No. 7 or a No. 10. She is growing in her understanding of the game, and entering a key calendar year where her recruitment will pick up, she is continuing to develop and work hard. She is doing very well about finding space and tailoring her runs to where the space is, instead of just trying to outrun defenders. She is a more solid when tracking back in defense, and you see a developing left foot as she becomes more comfortable with using both feet. Her passing range is growing and improving and leaves room for her to become even better. With her work ethic, her passion and competitiveness to go with her intelligence, you will see this quick, creative player blossom into so much more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='25343' first='Audrey' last='Moncho'], Forward, Oklahoma Energy, Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moncho is a Casady High player during the high school season, and plays club for Oklahoma Energy's 2007 ECNL team as a 2008. She is a forward that is comfortable playing as one of two center forwards, or playing out wide on the right. She shows the ability to slash inside and find the weak spots in the defense, or use her speed to beat defenders on the outside. She is particularly good about being patient and being in the right spot. She doesn't ball chase, instead continuing to work unoccupied areas and waiting for an opportunity. When that chance comes, she can bury it with the best of them. She also sends a nice ball in from the run of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='25344' first='Ava' last='Jack Shaw'], Forward/Midfielder, Oklahoma Energy, Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shaw is an interesting, unique and special player, especially in one sense. She is a No. 7, but one that likes to cut in on their left foot. She is excellent about cutting in, dragging along the edge of the area and firing of a missile of a shot. It is a very special left-footed shot that she has, as it has pace, power and accuracy. She's very shifty and quicker than one would think as she is a taller wide forward. Because of her size, she is superb at holding defenders off while she receives the ball and has one of the quickest turns you will see from a player in Oklahoma. She is not afraid to take defenders on as she has the foot skills, agility and attitude to do just that. Shaw plays club for Oklahoma Energy on the 2008 ECNL team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='165577' first='Brookelynne' last='Wesley'], Forward, Oklahoma Energy, Class of 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wesley is going to be one of the next great players at an established program in Norman North, already starting as a freshman last season. She plays ECNL for the 2009 team at Oklahoma Energy. A forward with great ability, what stands out about Wesley immediately upon seeing her is her strength. She is a powerful forward who can shed defenders easily or use her body to receive the ball deep, then shows the ability to leave them behind. She wins in a scrum because of how strong she is and is able to generate power on the ball despite traffic in the box and put the ball away. She is a true forward in the sense that she is always lying in wait. If a defender switches off for even a split second, Wesley will take advantage of the slightest sliver of space, or the fact the defender has shifted their weight to the wrong foot and she will be in behind the defense. She is fast and athletic to go with her strength, and has all of the appearances of being a fast riser in the soccer world. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
