The Oklahoman’s championship picks
Hallie Hart: Caddo. From the softball diamond to the basketball court, Caddo has great athletes. Jaycie Nichols, Kadey McKay and Kayden Prince are consistently scoring in double figures. The Bruins reached the finals last year, so they’re on a mission to capture their first girls basketball state title.
Jordan Davis: Seiling. The Wildcats have been on a tear over the last few weeks, riding an eight game win streak heading into the state playoffs. Behind the electric play of Braci Nyberg, Seiling looks to win its third consecutive state championship.
