It’s time to celebrate the best of the best in Oklahoma City-area high school sports! The Oklahoman’s Homeland Team of the Week poll for May 4-10 is now open, and we want you to cast your vote for the squad that delivered the most impressive performance.
Last week’s winner was Oklahoma Christian Academy boys golf—congrats to them! But now, a new set of five standout teams is vying for the crown. From baseball diamonds to tennis courts, these athletes have been making headlines. Let’s break down the nominees:
Calumet Baseball: The Chieftains finally broke through! After falling to Fort Cobb-Broxton in the Class B championship game for two straight years, Calumet turned the tables with a gritty 7-3 victory on Saturday. This spring title is the first in program history—a true testament to their resilience.
Okarche Baseball: Dominance doesn’t get much sweeter than this. The Class A-I Warriors claimed their first spring championship by steamrolling opponents 30-3 over three state tournament games. That’s the kind of momentum that builds dynasties.
Heritage Hall Girls Tennis: The Chargers swept the doubles competition at the 5A state tournament. Leila Williams and Tokara Henderson locked down the No. 1 title with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Tulsa Booker T. Washington, while Hattie Bradford and Eloise Nasr crushed Tulsa Kelley’s duo 6-0, 6-1 in the No. 2 final. Precision and power—Heritage Hall has it all.
Mustang Softball: History was made on the diamond. Mustang captured its second Class 6A state softball title this school year, crushing Choctaw 36-3 to cap a perfect 35-0 season. That 36-run outburst is the highest scoring output ever in a Class 6A state championship game. Unstoppable.
Washington Girls Track and Field: The Warriors are on a roll! Just days after winning a 5A slowpitch title, they stormed to a 3A state track and field championship with 130 points over the weekend. Talk about a double dose of glory.
