Former Kingfisher Assistant Football Coach Pleads No Contest To Child Abuse Charges

KINGFISHER, Okla. –

A former assistant coach at Kingfisher High School has pleaded no contest to charges accusing him of child abuse in connection to allegations of student hazing, court records say.

Prosecutors say Micah Nall received a four-year, deferred sentence, meaning he will avoid time in jail with good behavior.

Nall was charged with perjury, but a Kingfisher County judge later dismissed that charge.

The former Kingfisher High School head football coach  Jeff Myers is charged with felony child neglect for allegedly knowing and allowing hazing and bullying in the football program.

A two-year investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) uncovered “the ring” where players allegedly took out their differences during boxing and wrestling matches. Prosecutors argue Myers knew about the fights but did nothing to stop them.
