The state of Oklahoma has produced plenty of talented basketball stars. This is reflected in The Oklahoman's annual Super 5 list of the top five high school basketball standouts for the year. The newspaper released its top five players, along with the Coach of the Year awardee.
Durant High School's Tony Robinson won Coach of the Year after he led the team to its first Class 5A state tournament and finishing with a 19-8 record.
The newspaper also named five-star point guard Keeley Parks of Norman High School as the Super 5 Player of the Year. This is her second consecutive Super 5 Player of the Year award.

Four-star Putnam North combo guard and Kansas State commit Brandie Harrod was also named in the Super 5. She led her school to the Class 8A state championship, the first in the school's history.
Another four-star, Marcayla Johnson, a Baylor signee, is the third member of The Oklahoman's Super 5 after she led Booker T. Washington to the Class 5A state title.
