In what is considered a first-ever for both programs, El Reno and Okarche high schools have had players tabbed by the Oklahoma Basketball Coaches Association as the best in their respective classes.

Senior Carter Roman Nose was named the OBCA’s Player of the Year for Class 5A, while Okarche junior Jett Mueggenborg earned the same honor for Class A.

There were six POY honors handed out by the association.

“Callen (Haydon) was the Region 1 Player of the Year but I don’t think we have ever had an OBCA Player of the Year,” said El Reno head coach Rodney Haydon.
