Ki'ele Ho-Ching: The Elite 2026 Softball Star Headed to Oklahoma

March 13, 2026
Ki'ele Ho-Ching, a .500 hitter from Long Beach, is headed to Oklahoma with softball in her blood and flag football on her resume.

Ki'ele Ho-Ching hits over .500 and plays multiple positions for her Long Beach high school team—numbers and versatility that earned her a spot in Oklahoma's incoming class.

Softball runs in the family: her sister Tiare plays at Arizona State, and their father was a college football player. Ho-Ching also competes in flag football, adding to a Polynesian athletic tradition she's proud to continue with the Sooners.
