The Oklahoman’s championship picks
Jordan Davis: Oklahoma Christian School. The Saints look poised to win their first state title since 2007, when future OU star Blake Griffin led them. Seventeen years later, OCS has a new star in the school's all-time leading scorer, Luke Gray. The Saints have won 18 of their last 19 games heading into the tournament as Carson Jones and Kyler Brown also provide a solid scoring punch in the backcourt.
Hallie Hart: Oklahoma Christian School. OCS has defeated every Class 3A opponent so far, so there are plenty of reasons to believe the Saints will keep rolling. The biggest reason? Luke Gray’s phenomenal senior season. Gray has fueled the Saints on offense and defense, consistently posting double-doubles.
