I could see Class A being very wide open this year, Ringling and Cashion will still be in contention but I could see it going a numerous amount of ways this year, Out of all the districts A-5 has been the toughest one to take a crack at, You look at the district and you got five blue blood teams in Woodland, Hominy, Tonkawa, Morrison and Pawnee all in one district, Talk about a brutal gauntlet, I can still remember a few years ago when A-5 had Pawhuska in there with Hominy, Morrison, Pawnee and Woodland and I remember Morrison missed the playoffs at 7-3 that year and as tough as this one is there could be a good team miss the playoffs. A-4 will be interesting to see unfold with Wynnewood returning most everything from last year and I could see them returning to contention this year, I do still see Ringling controlling their destiny here but if Wynnewood stays healthy it could be an interesting race for the top spot in this district. A-1 will likely be between Hooker and Fairview once again but the rest is very wide open. A-2 and A-7 appear to be the most wide open while A-3 is once again a gauntlet, Despite A-3 only having six teams I think it’s gonna be an interesting fight for the top, Cashion could still be the favorite here but Minco and Watonga bringing a lot back with Christian Heritage coming back to Class A and add a Hinton team on the rise will make things very interesting, Like A-5 I could see a good team missing the playoffs in this district. A-6 looks to be an opportunity for Stroud to win it with them slowly making a rise back to the top but for now I think it’s wide open, A-8 for the most part Gore controls their destiny but Haskell, Pocola and Panama coming down to Class A will be interesting to see.
