Coach Omar Boone Announced as Talent Scout for 2026 All State Game

Omar Boone, renowned for his energy and dedication, has been appointed as a Talent Scout for the ASG Oklahoma Boys Basketball. Boone, a graduate of the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma with a B.S. in Business Administration, has an impressive track record both as a player and a coach. During his collegiate years, Boone made waves by securing NAIA Honors and being named the district 9 Player of the Week, becoming only the second player in USAO history to achieve such accolades. His contributions helped his team reach the District 9 Final Four in the 1989-90 season, cementing his legacy on the court.

Transitioning from player to coach, Coach Boone has honed his craft with students in grades 6 through 8 in Oklahoma City. His commitment to nurturing young talent led him to establish the KIDZ 2 ACHIEVE Organization in 2007, which has since empowered countless boys and girls to reach for their full potential. "Pursuing my vision of giving back to kidz and the community became my focus," said Coach Boone, reflecting on the driving force behind his journey.

In his new role as a Talent Scout, Boone will be instrumental in identifying and nominating outstanding middle school athletes for the prestigious 2026 All State Game. His keen eye for talent ensures that deserving players, regardless of their background or financial means, can shine on a statewide stage. Whether it's cutting through the hype or connecting with other elite coaches in Oklahoma, Boone's role is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the selection process.

Coach Boone's journey is more than just a personal achievement; it's a testament to his dedication to the community. By spotlighting athletes from underfunded programs and small towns, he fights to ensure that opportunity is available to all, not just the privileged few. As he continues his impactful work in Oklahoma City, Boone remains a vital bridge between young athletes and their dreams.
