Area athletes earn State FCA honors

The Oklahoma Fellowship of Christian Athletes recently announced their 2024 All-State selections. The honorees from across the state will be recognized at the 50th Annual FCA Honors Event on May 5, in Oklahoma City.

These 46 student athletes and 18 coaches have a powerful influence in their schools. FCA is thankful for their willingness to be an inspiration for Jesus Christ!

The keynote speaker at the Honors Event will be Coach Keith Patterson, Head Football Coach at Abilene Christian University. Coach Patterson is a native of Marlow and graduated from East Central University. He has been the Defensive Coordinator of some of the nation’s top defenses at seven different division 1 universities, most recently at Texas Tech before being hired at Abilene Christian. We look forward to hearing Coach Patterson share about his faith in sports.
