Bixby Spartans Coach Signs Contract Extension

Bixby Spartans head coach Burton Bates has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season, the school announced Thursday. The move comes after back-to-back playoff runs for the 5A Spartans, who have compiled a 22-6 record over the past two years. Bates' extension is seen as a vote of confidence in the program's ability to compete at the state's highest level. The Spartans' strong recruiting efforts have helped attract top talent to the Tulsa area, solidifying their position as a power in the 6A-1 District. With the extension, Bates will now have the opportunity to build on the program's momentum and make a deep run in the playoffs.
