West Metro Players of the Week
Here are the top players from the West Metro over the last week. To nominate someone, e-mail swright@opubco.com.
Football
Zac McKay, LB, Mustang: Maybe the Broncos would have gone on to win anyway had Edmond Santa Fe forced a second overtime. But maybe not. Or maybe Mustang would have only won by three, or by just a point, in a second overtime. In District 6A-1, every win is extremely valuable, and district points will be crucial, too. So it’s almost guaranteed that the game-ending tackle McKay made on Santa Fe’s Brian Mills will have a major impact six weeks from now. Had the play come in Week 9 with playoff spots hanging in the balance, we’d be talking about it as possibly one of the most impactful plays of the year.
Softball
Amanda Madden, P, Yukon: In her first week as the No. 1 starter following the season-ending injury to Dani Fox, Madden announced her presence with authority. Madden tossed a no-hitter in a 5-0 win over Edmond Memorial, striking out 12 along the way.
Volleyball
Kayla Swan, Putnam City: Swan has anchored the Lady Pirates through a rough stretch in the schedule that had them facing several of the state’s top teams. Now they’re back on the winning track, with seven straight wins to close the regular season. PC will learn its regional tournament future on Thursday afternoon.
Cross Country
Emily Helms, Mustang: Only a freshman, Helms finished second at an event hosted by Mustang at Wild Horse Park last week. Her time of 11:59 was just four seconds off the pace set by Norman’s Megan Johnson. As a team, the Mustang girls finished second behind Edmond North.
