Through the first three games he has carried the ball 32 times for 302 yards and has 3 catches for 33 yards. He has 5 touchdown running for 4 and caught another. He has been an Vype preseason 6A-2 Running Back selection. |
Gore
Tate Brooksher
QB
| Tate went from back up QB to QB1 on day nine of Spring Ball. Being a sophomore and no starts, he has handle the play calling well. He is a vital part of our offense and our team.

Pauls Valley
Rayne Major
RB/OLB
| Rayne is a great kid and teammate on top of being a great player. The last couple of years he has been our 2nd option carrying the football. Now he is option number 1 and has exceeded expectations to this point in the year |
Minco
Reed McMurtrey
QB/DB
| Team Captain and 4 year starter that is a great player and great kid. Reed is starting to become the player that we always knew he was capable of being making plays with his arm and his legs throughout the first 3 weeks. Looking forward for him to continue to grown and run this offense while being a big time defensive back on defense. |
Summit Christian
Ethan Oglesbee
Center / LB
| At the start of the season Ethan was not penciled in as a starter on either side of the ball. However, a couple injuries forced him into action on both sides and he has shown ability that my staff and I did not see in him. He has been especially surprising at linebacker on defense. He is a great, tough kid! Thanks, Coach Green |

Ondraye Beasley
RB / ILB
| Excellent start. Game one had 100 + yards receiving and rushing. |
Chisholm

Waukomis
Kino Richards
QB
| Kino has came out late last year(after week 2). He played receiver and corner for us last year and was a decent player. He came to me in the spring and wanted to try and be the qb. He surprised me how well he could throw the ball on the run and he is an outstanding runner. He is much more of a leader this year. We weren’t even considering playing him at qb until he said something. |

Crossings Christian

Jax challenged himself this past offseason and really put the work in, gaining around 20lbs. Through three games this season Jax is averaging just over 10 tackles a game while also being an impact player on the offensive line for us. We are excited to see his growth, not only as a player but also his continued growth as a leader and teammate. |
