ACADEMIC TEAM –

Kruse Ward – Broken Bow

Kruse is an all-around good player and good person.  He has a pretty good understanding of a lot of different subjects, making him a tough competitor.  What really makes Kruse stand out, though, is his attitude and sportsmanship.  He is supportive of his teammates and opponents, always looking for ways to encourage, support, and help others achieve their goals.

Ember Duffy – Haileyville

Ember is a junior here at Haileyville High School.  Ember has been active on the academic team since she was a freshman.  She is willing to take on multiple responsibilities, learns new material everyday and helps with the junior high and elementary academic teams.  Ember serves as the Captain of the team which places her in the hot seat for making game decisions.  The team and I all depend on Ember’s leadership skills.

–

Harrison Gordon – Mangum

Harrison’s dedication to the team is unique. As an OSSM student, he still plays with us for our weekend OSSAA meets. However, he committed himself to joining us for our two mid-week conference meets, which certainly benefited our team and aided us in tallying an 8-4 conference record. His individual point total qualified him as one of our conference all-stars. Our other players were up to the task, but having Harrison with us gave the team a “the gang’s all here” vibe. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does in his last year.

–

Nathan Berger – Piedmont

Nathan is the captain of our varsity team. He is very active in several different organizations throughout the school. He volunteers his time supporting different cultural organizations throughout the surrounding communities. Even though he has a busy schedule, he has been a constant figure on the academic team. He works with the coaches to come up with strategies that would showcase each players’ strengths.

Rhys Sumpter – Red Oak

Rhys is the strongest academic bowl competitor that has ever been a Red Oak student.  He is naturally gifted in numerous topics but spends countless hours studying, and he has been to quiz bowl camp two summers in a row.  This year, he has been the varsity captain and has excelled as a leader and a motivator for his team.

Isabella (Bella) White – Guthrie

I am proud to nominate Isabella (Bella) White for the MVP award for our academic team. Bella has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication throughout our season. As the acting team captain, she not only led the team in answering the most questions but also fostered an environment of collaboration and support among her teammates.

Bella’s organizational skills have been instrumental in our team’s success, ensuring that we are well-prepared for every challenge. Her positive attitude and unwavering support have made her a wonderful role model, inspiring her peers to strive for excellence.

Bella embodies the spirit of teamwork and leadership, making her the perfect choice for MVP. Her contributions have been invaluable, and I can think of no one more deserving of this honor.

She is always pumping up her teammates, encouraging them to improve their own skills in the world of Academics. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Landry!

BASEBALL

Evan Primrose – Southmoore

Evan is a great leader for our program. He sets the tone with his energy and consistency day in and day out. He will be our shortstop when he is not on the mound for us, and will look to have a bigger impact at the plate for his senior campaign. Through the highs and lows the baseball season can bring, we can count on Evan to be level headed throughout it all.

–

Will Grayson – Mount St. Mary

Will led our team in hitting last year and pitched two very good playoff games including the state semifinals.  He was hurt on the mound early in the year so only got to start games late in the year.  Will will be one of our top pitchers and hitters this year.

Cayden Duvall – Tonkawa

Cayden is a junior this season. He looks to be one of our top arms, our starting CF when not on the mound and he’ll hit at the top of our lineup. The sky is the limit for Cayden. He’s coming on a sophomore season where he hit for an avg of .468, had 16 XBH and drove in 34 while scoring 37 runs himself. In CF he covers ground better than anyone I have coached before and on the mound he’ll hover in the mid 80’s and top out around 88. He has a chance to be a game changer everyday. On top of all of those things he’s a high quality human which is what I appreciate most about him.

Blane Miller – Cordell

Blane Miller is a 6’3″ senior and our leader. He plays SS, catcher, and he is our top pitcher. While this is my first year, my first impression is I believe he will be a very large determining factor into how far this team goes and how many ballgames we win. He has a competitiveness about him that is a great asset to a team that is young. While it takes nine players to truly win at the highest level, you have to have THAT one and I believe he provides us with that. He will be our ace on the mound and one of the top hitters in the lineup. He’s a great kid with a lot of ability and a huge amount of untapped potential. Super excited about what this year might bring about for this young man.

Trent Carman and Garrett Gribble – Altus

Trent has been a starter since I came to Altus three years ago as an assistant coach. The abilities, improvements, and value that he brings into his senior season is going to help guide this team in the direction of success. Trent is our returning leading hitter and innings pitched from a year ago and we are looking for great things from him.

I would be remiss to not mention Garrett as a Co-MVP. He is what makes us go emotionally as a vocal leader. His presence and knowledge in the outfield is such a valuable asset to us, especially being so young in the outfield. He is the lone lefty in the lineup from a year ago, and led us in triples. Garrett has stepped into a leadership role and he along with the other seniors (Trent, Brodie Rogers, and Griffin Marshall) are making my transition to head coach easy.

Irelynd Shew has been the MVP of our team her first two years and I expect that she has a great chance to add to that her Junior year, but there will be a lot of competition for this spot as well. Irelynd is a tough competitor and one of the best 1v1 attackers that you will see in 4A. She has reached double figures in goals and assists each season and should reach those levels again. Her confidence in her finishing and shooting are as high as I’ve seen it. She is being recruited by several Division 2 schools, and she definitely has the potential to play at the next level.

Being his coach this year has been a pleasure to watch and support him.

His improvement over the last year shows his dedication to getting better and shows his work ethic. Without the work ethic, time, and commitment that he has made, his current success and bright future going forward would not have been possible.

Jordyn Moody – Westmoore

Jordyn is a player with extreme power at the plate along with a good glove and arm on defense. She came up big for us several times in the last two seasons at the plate along with making some tremendous plays defensively. As a senior, she has really dived deeper into working on all aspects of her game, not just offense and defense. She has invested in learning what it takes to be a leader, on and off the field, and also how to be a great teammate. I’m hoping the effort she has put into the intangibles will help her really soar this spring.

Last year, she hit a walk-off home run in the Bottom of the 7th against Purcell in the Regional Championship to send us to the State Tournament. It was one of the coolest moments I’ve ever been a part of and probably something she will remember for the rest of her life. Jazmyn is the type of player that you can’t replace. Her effort, character, and commitment is unmatched and our hope is to finish her career with another trip to the State Tournament.

–

Chesni Lowery – Perkins-Tryon

Chesni is going to be our lone senior this year and is expected to carry the role of a leader as well as she did in fastpitch this fall. Chesni is a threat at the plate due to her power but also her speed on the bases. Defensively she will control our very young infield again at first base. The value of a first baseman doesn’t go unnoticed with us due to Chesni. She is a blast to coach and I can’t wait to see her finish her career strong!
