May 20—These players are some of the best of the best.

The Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association announced its honorees for its All State and All-Star by Class honors on Thursday, with multiple local athletes being awarded.

Hartshorne's Bryson Cervantes was named to the Small East team for his efforts during the 2022 season, averaging .466 at the plate on the way to a 17-12 record for the Miners and a regional tournament appearance.

McAlester's Lleyton Bass will also play in the All State games, rounding out the roster for the Large East team. Bass held a .420 average in the leadoff slot for the Buffs this season.

The OBCA All State games are scheduled for June 5 in Enid at David Allen Memorial Park. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. for the Small East vs. West, and 7 p.m for the Large East vs. West.

Cervantes was also named an All-Star by Class in 2A East, and is joined by teammate Caden James, who himself averaged a .329 this year.

Three McAlester Buffaloes were honored as All-Stars by Class for the 5A East Team. Gage Dollins, Bass, and Gage Mullins were all three named to the list for their work this season on helping lead the Buffs to a 5A state tournament berth. The trio accounted for 121 runs and nearly 100 RBIs for the Buffs this season.

Additionally, Mullins — a member of the Choctaw Nation — was also named to the Oklahoma Native All State baseball team as well. The ONASA games will be held in Okmulgee on June 11.

And in Class A, three Stuart players were named as All-Stars by Class. Michael Bolte, Connor Clayton, and Zayne Clark were all awarded for their efforts this season. Stuart racked up 20 wins and a regional tournament appearance with the aid of the endeavors from the trio of Hornets.
