Congratulations to Ela Hartman — the talented sophomore guard from Kingfisher High School — on earning an offer to continue her academic and athletic journey at Oklahoma City University (OCU)!
The announcement has been buzzing across Kingfisher community pages, with proud posts celebrating the 2028 prospect’s latest achievement. At just 16 years old and already making waves in Oklahoma high school basketball, Hartman is proving she’s one to watch in the Class of 2028.
A Rising Star in the Making
Standing at around 6’0″ (listed as 5’11″–6’0″ across profiles), Ela Hartman plays primarily as a Shooting Guard with the versatility to handle Point Guard duties. She’s a combo guard who impacts both ends of the floor with her skill set: deep-range shooting, a polished mid-range game, strong handles, and the ability to drive and finish at the rim despite her slender frame.
Evaluators describe her as a “tough, disruptive maker” with high basketball IQ and elite instincts. During her sophomore season with the Lady Yellowjackets, she showcased growth in ball-handling, court vision, and defensive tenacity — including games with multiple steals, deflections, and timely three-pointers that sparked comebacks.
She also competes with the Tulsa JYD club program, giving her valuable exposure against top competition. Recent scouting notes highlight her development from a “gangly” young player into a more skilled scoring guard, with evaluators calling her a prospect to monitor closely this spring and summer.
Kingfisher fans and Oklahoma hoops followers have taken notice. She’s been featured in “Players to Watch” lists for the state, praised for her versatility and shot-making ability that make her one of the top young talents in Oklahoma girls basketball.
