On Saturday, August 16, 2014, former Cavalier Coach Stan Oken was honored in the "Stan Oken Fresno County Scholarship Reception and Book Reading" event, as organized by Fresno State University. You can read about Coach Oken's career after GCHS by going to the "Your Life Stories-What's Happened to the Class of 1965" tab to the left. On that same tab, you can read GCHS65's Ron Garland's Story, about what the Coach meant to him.
A number of Coach Oken's basketball players from his Cleveland teams traveled to Fresno for this special event, to honor him as someone who has made a lasting difference in their lives. These are some of the photo memories.
