The Oklahoma Coaches Association released its list of All-State basketball honorees recently and Sand Springs had several recipients. The organization only recognizes seniors.

Destiny Johnson and Holly Kersgieter both made the All-State Girls team, while Cole Durkee and Cale Savage received Class 6A All-Star status. The All-Star honor recognizes top-players from each classification, while the All-State team is the absolute cream of the crop.

Kersgieter, a University of Kansas-commit, was also named to the OGBCA All-State Girls Team and FVC All-Conference First Team. Kersgieter shot 46.5% in the field and 76.1% at the charity stripe, averaging 19.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. She finished her career with 1,406 points.
