There's nothing like playing your first college game, September - 1996 on a Thursday night, first college game of the '96 season, on ESPN ... oh, and against the National Champions, Nebraska Cornhuskers!!! To say the least, it was humbling. We lost 64-21. But I am proud to say that we scored the most points on them that season. I had solid run as a WR all four years and I finished my career voted as Senior Captain by my teammates. What a huge honor in my opinion.

I had the pleasure of playing alongside Cowboy legends that were recruited from Oklahoma. RW McQuarters, Alonzo Mayes, Kenyatta Wright to name a few.

The apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. My oldest, Kaelon had a brief stint at Army-West Point on a football scholarship but finished at OSU and is completing his Masters at Tenn State. My second oldest, Kamron is finishing out his last year at the US Naval Academy. My youngest and only daughter, Jadyn is going into her senior year with a few softball offers. All three will have earned scholarships to play at the next level.

Year after year since 2017, we have placed together a platform for our Oklahoma athletes to shine before they hit the prep level hardwood. Surrounding myself with a team of people that love and know the game of basketball has elevated this event to a premier showcase for college coaches to see early in the recruiting game. Hundreds of S16 All-Stars are scattered amongst high schools throughout the state of Oklahoma.

You can't have a conversation about Oklahoma high school basketball without mentioning my high school coach, the great Tommy Griffin. I watched his sons Taylor and Blake grow up, as we dominated the state of Oklahoma in high school basketball during the late 90's. One of the best to ever do it. These dudes are Super Humans by the way. (Jeez)
