Eufaula’s Gragg goes on top in All-State game
By Rodney Haltom sports EDITOR,

Eufaula gridiron standout D raven Gragg finished his high school career going out on top as he helped lead the East team to a 14-6 victory at the OCA All-State football game at Oklahoma Baptist University’s Cain Family Stadium in Shawnee.

Gragg made several big tackles for a loss not including a pass break-up to force the West team to kick.

“I cant say enough about Draven Gragg. He did an outstanding job representing what an Ironhead is all about in the All-State game. We are so very proud of his accomplishments. The Ironheads have been showing up and showing out at these All-State games the past three years. Dravens chapter as an Ironhead athlete has come to an end and now it will be fun to watch him at the next level. I wish him the best of luck and I thank him for all he has brought to our Ironheads,” Eufaula head coach Larry Newton said.

“Thanks to everyone who came out and watched Draven at the All-State game. He had a great game and represented Eufaula proudly. He was excited to be an Ironhead one last time. But we know once an Ironhead, always an Ironhead,” Dravens father Jeremy Gragg said.

Gragg has committed to play for the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond after being courted by several other schools. Draven is the son of Jeremy and Laura Gragg of Eufaula.
