We head to the southeast corner of Rogers County for this installment of the Athlete Spotlight. Catoosa High School is home to the Indians and is also home to junior Lunden Hecht. 

She is a member of the Lady Indians basketball team and also a pole vaulter with the track and field team. Lunden is also member of the Partner’s Club, a group that helps the Catoosa Special Olympics team with different events. She has also worked part-time at Oklahoma Joe’s in Catoosa for about a month. 

Lunden attends Woodcrest Church in Catoosa and is part of the youth group there. She also attends Church at Battlecreek on Sunday mornings. 

When she has spare time at home, Lunden enjoys to cook. “I love to cook spaghetti, pork chops, chicken, and other stuff too”, she said. “I learned to cook from my mom. I always helped her and watched her cook dinner and I watch a lot of cooking shows also, which have taught me”.

Lunden has received the Community Excellence Award and was also on the Principal’s Honor Roll the last two years. 

The Lady Indians basketball coach, Joe Daniels, appreciates Lundens hard work. “Lunden is a good athlete that works hard and continues to improve her game. She played a big role for us last year coming off the bench to give us a spark. We look for great things from her this year. Off the court, Lunden gets along with her teammates which is very important for team chemistry.”
