Delanie Crawford’s final prep basketball game ended like so many of the others before.

With a win.

The Piedmont star scored seven points in the West’s 55-51 win over the East team in the annual Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State game played at Jenks High School Wednesday evening.

As a senior, Crawford posted 15.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, while shooting at a 48.6% clip from the field, 38% from three-point range and 80% from the free throw line.

In 2019, Crawford led Piedmont to its second state title in program history while averaging 18.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.8 assists per game.

A 5-foot-10 guard, Crawford is signed to play at the University of Tulsa next season.

The West team won the dual over the East, 45-12.
