Union | 2022
State
OK
– 2022 Running Back – Union
23 Carries | 134 Yards | 1 Touchdown | 2 Catches | 76 Yards | 1 Touchdown
Union was dominant in their district victory over Mustang on Friday night and the offense could not be slowed down in the blowout victory. Leading the way on the offensive side of the ball was Antonio Smith Antonio Smith 6'0" | 180 lbs | RB Union | 2022 State OK , who finished as the leading rusher in a backfield featuring two of the best in the state with fellow senior Rovaughn Banks Rovaughn Banks 5'10" | 200 lbs | ATH Union | 2022 State OK . Smith finished with 134 yards and a touchdown rushing and also caught two passes for 76 yards and a receiving touchdown. Union remains in the driver seat for the district championship and if Smith keeps producing like this, they’ll continue to be a strong state title contender.
Chance Wilson

Rejoice Christian | 2023
State
OK
– 2023 Quarterback – Rejoice Christian
25-33 | 317 Yards | 5 Touchdowns | 56 Rushing Yards | 1 Rushing Touchdown
A player who is without a doubt in the middle of a breakout season is Rejoice Christian junior quarterback Chance Wilson Chance Wilson 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Rejoice Christian | 2023 State OK . We knew coming into the year that Wilson was a solid talent at the QB position after watching him this offseason in 7v7 tournaments. However, he is putting up some monster numbers in the passing game as well as the rushing game. In Rejoice Christian’s latest win, Wilson threw for over 300 yards and five touchdowns and also added over 50 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Wilson has Rejoice as a dark horse title contender in Class 2A as defenses can’t figure out how to slow him down.
Gavin Freeman

Freeman
5'10" | WR
Heritage Hall | 2022
State
OK
– 2022 Wide Receiver – Heritage Hall
231 All Purpose Yards | 2 Receiving Touchdowns | 2 Punt Return Touchdowns
The recent Texas Tech commit is having one of the best overall years in Oklahoma. Heritage Hall remained undefeated Thursday in a win over Bridge Creek and their senior standout only touched the ball seven times to get the following done. He finished with 231 all purpose yards, caught two touchdowns and took two punts back for touchdowns. Freeman has been lights out throughout the season and he’s barely touched the ball and hasn’t played four quarters every single week. He’s solidified his spot as one of the top playmakers in Oklahoma and is on a short list for Player Of The Year candidates.
Lane Jackson – 2022 Athlete – Adair
9 Catches | 187 Yards | 2 Touchdowns | 9 Tackles | 2 Interceptions
In a critical district game, Adair was able to get a close win over Sperry and keep their hopes for the district championship alive. Leading the way for the Warriors was a two-way star in the form of Lane Jackson. The senior standout led the Warriors on offense with 9 catches for nearly 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns. On defense, Jackson finished with nine tackles and two interceptions. It was a big win for the Warriors and Adair is once again in the hunt in Class 2A after losing two early games this season. Jackson and a dangerous Adair offense, especially the passing game is a big reason why.
Max Brown

Lincoln Christian | 2022
State
OK
– 2022 Quarterback – Lincoln Christian
9-11 | 115 Yards | 1 Touchdown | 7 Carries | 152 Yards | 2 Touchdowns
We mentioned Player Of The Year candidates earlier with Gavin Freeman Gavin Freeman 5'10" | WR Heritage Hall | 2022 State OK at Heritage Hall, another player on the short list is a player on one of Heritage Hall’s biggest rivals in Lincoln Christian with senior quarterback Max Brown Max Brown 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB Lincoln Christian | 2022 State OK . The Bulldogs faced off with an unbeaten Westville squad in week six. Brown and the Bulldogs torched them and rolled to another victory. In the process, Brown finished with 115 yards and a touchdown passing while running for over 150 yards and two touchdowns. Brown got off to a red hot start this season in September and just continues to put up big numbers every week.

Carl Albert | 2023
State
OK
– 2023 Quarterback – Carl Albert
8-11 | 176 Yards | 2 Touchdowns | 70 Rushing Yards | 1 Rushing Touchdown
Anyone who thought 2021 might be the year where Carl Albert took a step back might be regretting that opinion right now. Carl Albert just had arguably their two toughest district tests back to back and both on the road. They passed both with wins over Guthrie and recently beating Bishop McGuinness in overtime. Leading the way in their win over McGuinness was junior quarterback Reed Dequasie Reed Dequasie 6'2" | DB Carl Albert | 2023 State OK . The junior threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns on just 8-11 passing. He also added 70 yards and a rushing touchdown in the overtime victory. Dequasie has the Titans right back in the mix of the 5A title picture.
