All-City Selections Spotlight Oklahoma’s Rising Stars
The Oklahoman has revealed its 2026 All-City high school boys soccer teams, recognizing standout performances from across Oklahoma. The honor roll includes a first team, a second team and a list of honorable mentions that together showcase the depth of talent in the state.
The first team draws players from Christian Heritage, Heritage Hall, Norman North, Crooked Oak, Stillwater and Edmond Memorial, a mix of programs that have consistently produced competitive squads. Among the first‑team finalists for Player of the Year are Graham Condley of Stillwater and Cooper Gunn of Edmond Memorial, both of whom have drawn praise for their offensive contributions.
Juan Rodarte, the coach of Crooked Oak, was named Coach of the Year after guiding his side to a remarkable season that included a deep playoff run and several upset victories over traditionally stronger opponents.
The second team features athletes from Heritage Hall, Santa Fe South, Bethany, Classen SAS and Edmond Santa Fe, highlighting a second tier of standout performers who narrowly missed the first‑team cut. Honorable mentions are scattered across Bethany, Carl Albert, Casady, Christian Heritage and Classen SAS, underscoring the breadth of talent that just fell short of the top two tiers.
