Wicker signs letter of intent

Body
Brady Wicker has signed a letter of intent to play golf at the University of Central Oklahoma this fall. Wicker is a two-time state qualifier in golf, three-time golf letterman, a member of the National Honor Society and Student Council and a member of the Po-Hi baseball team. Coach Rod Alexander said, “Brady has been the leader of this team for the last two years. He has proven his leadership both on the golf course and in the classroom. Him signing with a great program like UCO will help further his playing abillities. I see him stepping in and being one of the top five players for them.” Pictured, front row from left, are Brody Wicker, Michelle Wicker, Brady Wicker and Brad Wicker.
