Key additions to the Hornets’ roster include senior transfer Jaxton Weedn (6-2, 180, Sr.), coming from Haworth. Jaxton is highly regarded, earning the title of 2024 McCurtain County MC-6 All-Conference member and the MC-6 Conference Offensive Player of the Year. “Jaxton has superior discipline as a student athlete and a relentless work ethic to continue improving as a basketball player,” Weedn said. The team also welcomes senior transfer Chandler Kelley (5-8, 140, Sr.) from Kiowa, who will add depth and experience to the lineup. Freshman Jaren Weedn, who dominated in junior high competition, is expected to make an immediate contribution as well.
Coach Weedn is confident that his players will adapt quickly to the new system and show consistent improvement as the season progresses. “I believe our boys will quickly adapt to a new system and continue to improve as our season progresses. We have a tough group that is looking forward to competing in a very strong and talented Oklahoma Class B.”
