Millwood dominates Roland for Class 3A State Championship
By Rodney Haltom sports EDITOR,

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Millwood Falcons capped another dominant season Saturday, defeating the Roland Rangers 83-41 to win the OSSAA Class 3A Boys Basketball State Championship at the OG&E Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds.

Millwood came into the championship game ranked No. 1 in Class 3A and proved why, using relentless defense, transition scoring, and hot shooting to pull away early and never look back. The Falcons built a comfortable first-half lead and continued to extend it in the second half to secure another gold ball for the storied program.

Fast Pace Early

Millwood’s pressure defense created turnovers that quickly turned into points on the other end. The Falcons controlled the tempo from the opening tip, forcing Roland into tough shots while pushing the ball up the floor.

By halftime, Millwood had seized control of the championship matchup and carried that momentum into the second half, where the Falcons’ depth and athleticism overwhelmed the Rangers.

PLAYER STATISTICS Millwood Falcons

• Jordan Smith – 20 points, 6 rebounds

• Marcus Johnson – 16 points, 5 assists

• Darius Green – 14 points, 7 rebounds

• Isaiah Carter – 12 points, 4 steals

• Tyler Brown – 9 points, 6 rebounds

• Bench contributors – 12 points combined

Roland Rangers

• Colton Williams – 13 points

• Brayden Rogers – 9 points, 5 rebounds

• Dylan Carter – 7 points

• Luke Brown – 6 points

• Team bench – 6 points Championship Tradition Continues The victory added another state championship to Millwood’s already impressive basketball tradition, as the Falcons have captured numerous Class 3A titles over the years and remain one of Oklahoma’s premier high school programs.

Roland finished the season as state runnerup after a strong tournament run that included a semifinal victory over Rejoice Christian.

For Millwood, however, the night belonged to the Falcons as they celebrated another championship season and continued the program’s legacy of excellence on the hardwood.
