Millwood boys basketball coach Dorrian Williams set to succeed Jay Price at Carl Albert

A new chapter is underway at Carl Albert High School.

After spending three seasons as Millwood boys basketball coach, Dorrian Williams will take the reins of the Titans' program.

The announcement comes just weeks after longtime Carl Albert coach Jay Price announced his retirement following 23 seasons with the program.

Williams has been the Falcons' head coach for the past three years, leading the program to Class 3A state championships the past two seasons. Millwood earned a state runner-up finish in Williams' inaugural season in 2023-24.

In his playing days, Williams led Douglass to back-to-back 4A state titles in 2010 and 2011 at point guard before spending five seasons at Missouri State.

He later joined Douglass as an assistant and won a state title before taking over at Millwood in 2023.

Williams recently guided Millwood to its state record 19th state championship and leaves with 69-16 record throughout his tenure. He was named The Oklahoman's Super 5 Coach of the Year and Little All-City Coach of the Year in 2025.

"Honored and excited to accept the opportunity to be a part of something special at Carl Albert High School," Williams said in a post on X. "A program built on tradition, pride, and excellence and I'm ready to get to work. Grateful for the chance to lead, grow, and continue building on a championship culture."
