Eufaula Impact Players of the Week

Eufaula Impact Players of the Week are Jadence Efurd and Keaton Parish. Senior forward Jadence Efurd dominated Henryetta in the paint as she had multiple rebounds, block shots and assists in Eufaula’s 57-25 win over the Lady Knights. Efurd is the prime example of senior leadership with dignity and respect and represents her school with class. She also scored seven points in the contest.

Keaton Parish was a player that kept the Ironheads’ momentum in Eufaula’s 45-40 win over a tough Henryetta team. His athletic ability and skill set gave him the ability to force multiple turnovers, grab rebounds on both ends of the court and score points in transition.

Parish finished the game with seven points.
