Season #8 of the Express Starts in August!

The Oklahoma High School Sports Express wrapped up a busy year with it’s final show of the season on May 24th. During the 2008-09 school year, the Express featured a record number of student-athletes from 341 different Oklahoma High Schools competing in 29 different sports. It’s easy to see why the Express has become a “must see” each week by high school students, their parents, grandparents, coaches and friends. If you have a story idea, want to nominate a McDonald's Scholar Athlete or invite the Express to your big game, send Van Shea an e-mail at vsiven@ohsse.com. The Oklahoma High School Sports Express continues to be the leader for high school sports in the Sooner State. Season number eight of the Oklahoma High School Sports Express will begin in August.
