5A Outlook

I agree with all of that…… I would also be on upset alert for BMG on Thursday night against Shawnee….. book is out on BMG, and making the playoffs will be a struggle in that district. BMG and Piedmont are probably happy to get to 6A2.

And like said above, their path to a state title actually gets easier in 6a2. They are the outlier in the new private school rule for sure. 
I have mixed feelings on your 3 consecutive state titles point. If the transfer junk (my opinion) continues to be as rampant as it is, especially in certain areas, then I'm 100% on board. But if the OSSAA manages to come up with some sort of rule (lol) to mitigate it somehow, then im fine with keeping it as it is.

I think DC could give CA a good game, but if they will, I don’t know. DC was only up 9 when it was called. I don’t know if that’s dismantling. DC beat Choctaw last year too, and they were 5 points away from winning 6A-2 a year ago. CA is better than last year and shutout DC 19-0.

I hope someone can play them tough, because it’s not real fun watching blowouts, aside from appreciating how good some of the CA kids are. Personally, I don’t think anyone comes within 14 of CA, but that’s why they play the game.

I’m actually not from CA nor a fan. I’ve watched one game this year (Coweta) and 2 last year (DC and the championship against Mac).

My thoughts on the transfers? Sucks for the other schools, just like it sucks for the 3A schools having to deal with Heritage Hall, LC, and Metro. But when you’re successful, you’re going to attract kids. If they actually are “recruiting”, then that should be dealt with. But kids want to be a part of something successful, and CA is in most everything they do. Personally, I’d rather attend/my kids attend CA than DC or MWC. Have you been to those areas? Nothing against those kids, but it’s not an area I want to live in or have my kids live in.

If a parent has the means to buy another house and move into their school district, then by all means. That’s within the current set of rules. If people don’t like it, join the OSSAA and change it.

Also, as far as the draw, there are several. For one, CA is a great school and the sports are successful. That’s attractive to kids and parents. Second, if I had kids, I’d rather live in CA, Choctaw, Jones, etc. Close enough to the perks of city living, but not having to live in the “big city.” Again, not the kids faults, but those areas are safer too. Finally, Tinker is the largest employer in the state. Tons of kids parents from Mid-Del, OKC, eastern OK County work there. It’s in MWC and right by CA school district. It’s a great area.
