The Oklahoman's high school athletes of the week for Jan. 18-24:

Boys basketball

Gage Porter, Jr., Bethel: For the second straight season, Porter was clutch in upsetting Dale. Last Tuesday, Porter scored 27 points and hit eight 3-pointers to knock off Class 2A top-ranked Dale 73-70. Last year, he hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to knock off the Pirates, as well. Bethel went 3-1 last week, including a 2-1 mark in the Chouteau Tournament. Porter hit 16 treys last week and shot 48.5% from distance. He averaged 16.5 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 steals in the four games.
