🔥🎨🏆 BIG WIN FOR LATTA! 🏆🎨🔥
Latta High School sophomore Saylor Sullivan has officially been named the 2026 OSSAA Art of the Game Contest Champion!
Out of 63 talented artists across Oklahoma, Saylor rose to the top as one of only six finalists—and then brought it home with the WIN! 🥇
This victory didn’t happen alone… 💙
The Latta Panther community showed up BIG, rallying behind Saylor with incredible support and donations. That unity is what makes this moment even more special.
🏅 The award ceremony will be given at a later date.
Saylor, your hard work, creativity, and talent have made Latta proud in a HUGE way. This is more than a win—it’s a statement!
👏 Congratulations, Saylor Sullivan—you earned every bit of this! 👏
