2023 All-COAC football team: Edmond Santa Fe's Demarius Robinson named Player of the Year
The Central Oklahoma Athletic Conference has announced its All-Conference football teams for the 2023 season.
Edmond Santa Fe running back Demarius Robinson was named Player of the Year after a stellar junior season in his return from a sports hernia, which kept him out for most of 2022. Robinson led Class 6A-I in rushing in 2023, recording 2,176 yards and 28 touchdowns on the ground to help the Wolves finish third in their district.
David McComb of Edmond Memorial was tabbed Offensive Player of the Year and Norman's Dax Noles was voted Defensive Player of the Year. Ninth-year Edmond Santa Fe head coach Kyle White was awarded Coach of the Year honors after finishing with a 7-4 record following a 1-9 campaign in 2022.
