This year, nearly two dozen high school students are honored and recognized for their athletic accomplishments and academic achievements, as well as one high school football coach. We are also extremely honored to host Coach Sherri Coale, Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2020 Inductee, as our Keynote Speaker for this event; highlighting her experience in athletics and her coaching legacy.
