OCC PARENTS — WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty for the OCC Senior Showcase, and we need some help making sure NO senior student-athlete gets overlooked!

We are looking for ONE PARENT CONTACT from each school who can help us connect with other senior parents at their school — especially parents who don’t have Facebook or don’t follow the OCC page.

Our goal is simple: we want to give EVERY senior student-athlete the opportunity to showcase their talents. We don’t want a player to miss out simply because they or their parents never saw the information.

📍 We still need parent contacts for:

🏈 East Carteret
🏈 West Carteret
🏈 Croatan
🏈 West Craven
🏈 Havelock
🏈 Dixon
🏈 Swansboro
🏈 Lejeune
🏈 Southwest
🏈 Richlands

If you’re a parent at one of these schools and are willing to be our OCC Parent Contact, please comment below or send us a message.

You won’t be asked to do anything complicated — we just need someone who can help us get the word out and make sure the senior parents at your school know about this opportunity.

📣 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! Even if your child isn’t a senior, you may know the parent we need.

Let’s make sure every senior gets a chance.

Over the past few days, we've introduced you to the women helping lead the OCC Senior Showcase. Their stories may be different, but they all share one common mission.

Together, Sharice Hatchell, Kesha Gray, and Sondra Booher bring decades of experience in youth sports, leadership, business, mentorship, and community service. Countless hours have been spent behind the scenes organizing programs, supporting families, building relationships, and creating opportunities for young athletes.

The OCC Senior Showcase isn't just about playing one final football game.

It's about making sure Eastern North Carolina athletes have the same opportunities as any student-athlete in America. Every phone call, every meeting, every sponsorship, every late night, and every decision is made with one goal in mind: helping our seniors gain exposure, connect with college coaches, and pursue higher education through the game they love.

This showcase was built on the belief that talent exists everywhere,even if opportunity doesn't.

These women are working every day to help change that.

The future of Eastern North Carolina football is bright, and this is only the beginning. 🏈

Meet OCC Director of Operations: Kesha Gray

Kesha Gray is a proud wife, mother of two boys, and a dedicated advocate for youth development. Her passion for serving young people has been evident throughout her career and years of involvement in youth football.

A graduate of White Oak High School, Kesha continued her education at East Carolina University and Ashford University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Child Development and Family Relations. She currently serves as a Care Manager, working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and has dedicated more than 10 years to helping individuals and families receive the support and resources they need.

Kesha's football journey began more than 12 years ago with the Craven Jaguars. Although she knew very little about the game when she started, she quickly learned every aspect of running a successful youth football organization—from day-to-day operations to behind-the-scenes logistics. Throughout the years, she has served in several leadership roles, including Team Mom, Secretary, and Treasurer. While she has helped build a successful football program, her greatest accomplishment has been watching the young athletes she mentored grow from 4-year-olds into respectful, successful young men. Through every challenge, they knew they could always count on "Mrs. Shay" for encouragement, guidance, and unwavering support.

Kesha became involved with the OCC Senior Showcase through Founder Sharice Hatchell after working alongside her during the past two OTS 7-on-7 seasons. As the Director of Operations, she is committed to creating opportunities for high school seniors to showcase their talents in front of college coaches and pursue higher education through athletics. Her mission has always remained the same, to be a positive influence in the lives of young people and help them achieve success both on and off the field.

Meet OCC Founder &Head Director: Sharice Hatchell

Sharice Hatchell is a proud wife, mother of four, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, entrepreneur, and the founder of OTS 7-on-7 and the OCC Senior Showcase.

A graduate of Highland Springs High School in Richmond, Virginia, Sharice answered the call to serve by joining the United States Marine Corps, where she proudly served for 10 years. Today, she continues serving her community as a successful real estate agent in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Her football journey began as a dedicated team mom for the Jacksonville Storm. When her youngest son reached the eighth grade, Sharice stepped into a leadership role as the head coach of the Jacksonville Cardinals. In her only season as head coach, she led the Cardinals to an impressive 9-1 record and won the Film to Field City League Championship in Wilmington, NC, demonstrating the leadership, discipline, and passion that have become her trademarks.

Following that championship season, Sharice founded OTS 7-on-7 with a vision of providing athletes throughout Eastern North Carolina with elite competition, development, and college exposure. That same summer, she launched the OTS 7-on-7 Travel Team, which has now completed two successful seasons. The program has already helped numerous student-athletes earn college scholarship offers and continues to create opportunities for young players to compete at the next level.

Today, Sharice is the Founder and Head Director of the OCC Senior Showcase, where she continues her mission of providing high school seniors with one final opportunity to showcase their talents in front of college coaches while opening doors to higher education through football. Her commitment to serving others, both on and off the field, continues to leave a lasting impact on athletes, families, and communities across Eastern North Carolina.

Imagine this backfield...

🏈 Duke Magwood. 🏈 Andrew Boucher.

Two explosive playmakers. One backfield.

Speed to outrun defenders. Vision to find every crease. Power to finish runs. The kind of duo that keeps defensive coordinators awake at night.

Now imagine them sharing the field together one time at the OCC Senior Showcase.
