Kayson Olgletree's 3 POG Run Earns MVP Across 8 Games

Kayson Olgletree was named the tournament MVP, and the case for it rests on a bracket of coach recognition: 3 Player-of-the-Game honors across 8 games.

Over those 8 games, Olgletree averaged 9.5 points and finished with 76 total points and 17 threes. His team reached the final, giving him a long runway to build the line.

The signature outing came against the Guymon Tigers, when Olgletree poured in 22 points on 6 threes and took Player of the Game. He drew the honor again versus WTX, scoring 15 points with 3 threes. A second meeting with the Guymon Tigers added 12 points on another 3 threes. The rest of the slate filled in around those marquee nights, keeping his scoring steady from game to game.

The why behind the award lives in the numbers. Olgletree ranked 10th in the field in scoring, and a large share of his points arrived from beyond the arc, those 17 threes spread across the run. He did not lead his own team in scoring, which makes the 3 Player-of-the-Game nods stand out all the more: this was a run built on a tournament line and repeated recognition rather than raw volume alone.

The finish does not complete the story. Olgletree did not win the title; his side fell in the final. What he leaves behind is the best individual tournament of the event regardless of where the team landed, a 76-point, 17-three, 3-POG run that the voters singled out from the entire field. The trophy went elsewhere. The MVP did not.
