Bohanan taking on team Texas this week

Dustin Bohanan has waited for this week since he heard the news in early April. 

 

Guthrie has produced athlete’s in the game’s last four seasons and seven of the last nine years. Last season, Guthrie head coach Rafe Watkins and associate head coach Kelly Beeby were selected as members of the 2009 coaching staff. However, the game was cancelled due to lighting.  

Bohanan, who became Guthrie High School’s 30th All-State selection this past season, was one of five defensive backs selected for team Oklahoma. 

Bohanan, who was a two-year starter for the Jays in the secondary, finished with 58 tackles and two interceptions in his senior campaign. Bohanan was also instrumental in the Jays wins over Duncan and Tulsa East Central. 

The senior returned a 51-yard punt against Duncan to give the Jays a 13-0 lead and the following week returned a punt near midfield to set up Guthrie’s go ahead touchdown against East Central. 

This spring, Bohanan was a member of the 4 x 100 Guthrie relay team that won the Class 5A state championship and helped the program to their second straight track and field state title. 

Bohanan becomes Guthrie’s 15th player in school history to be named to the list. He joins Andrew Knight Sr. (1975), Mitchell Pierce (1985), Andrew Knight Jr. (2002), Kyle Smith (2003), Demarko Jones (2003), Keenan Webb (2003), David Washington (2004), Demarcus Davis (2007), Jonathan Washington (2008), Kent McDonald (2008), Kye Staley (2008), Keaton Callins (2009), Donte’ Foster (2009), and Skyler Smith (2009). 

Players from both teams will attend a banquet on Friday night and then a parade at 10 am Saturday morning. If you would like more details such as directions, or ticket prices visit the Oil Bowl’s website.
