This is the place to talk about the prep gridders, whether it's Oklahoma or another state.
First off, any predictions on how the classes in Oklahoma will shake out?
6A - Muskogee. I'm not totally sold on the Roughers yet, check back when they beat Union and/or Jenks. But this could be the year a new kid joins Union and Jenks in the championship parade.
5A - Bixby. It will be intriguing to see how Shawnee and Tucker Brown fares this season, though, after the turmoil they endured last year.
4A - Glenpool. Many are picking Wagoner, but after exceeding expectations the year before by going from 2-8 to the state finals, the Bulldogs may not be able to handle the pressure this year. I'll get to see Glenpool this Friday at Sallisaw, BTW. It will be wide open in 4A, however, with Clinton moving down to...
3A - Clinton. Everybody else is chasing for second.
2A - Vian. Millwood will be right up there, too, but I'm going for somebody different. Vian has most of their studs back from last year's team and the semifinal loss will have them motivated during 2006. Also a brutal district with Eufaula, Spiro and Hartshorne will have the Wolverines toughened up for the postseason.
A - Pawnee. But never count Tonkawa out.
B - Morrison. They can add another big sign alongside the entranceway to their stadium.
C - Shattuck. Going for their fourth consecutive Gold Ball.
