And the small schools represented so well.

Weird to see all the coaches kids that made it over others that were deserving. Sad that’s what it’s come to. No way Stroud should have 2 players over Poteau and Lincoln Christian.

Said this same thing... no way Stroud deserved 2 kids from same team who made second round because Dad is on team that makes OCA system look flawed. Especially when 2 state champs get guys left off for them. Tough draw for those kids deserving though I’m sure they will still make it as “Alternates”.

LC's QB not making it is an absolute joke too. If Owasso put their QB up he deserved it as well over Stroud kid. This has gone on for a long time but simply being a coaches' kid doesn't make you special. Watford did the same thing a few years back. Shameful.

The Stroud kid made it over Dugger from Owasso and Ricke from LC. The LC QB is 9th ALL TIME in passing yards in Oklahoma. Adair’s kid had 600 yards. LC receiver had over 1,000 and 21 TDS. You can see all the nominees from all star by class and who was picked over who. There is no argument this year that it’s a good ole boy system.

Mangum QB already got in for Horton kid due to Horton not playing in game. Was wild though seeing as he is Top 15 in OK history I. Career passing yards and was Top 10 through all class QBs this year in Ok. Good boy system.

By rule, I thought, every State Champion gets at least one all-state spot.

The OFBCA needs to revamp if like baseball did. The baseball coaches association just took it over and they do it now. They play the game in July and have 3 teams. It would benefit the game to have the football coaches association change things up. The newspaper teams are the real all state teams. Tulsa World and Daily Oklahoman did a great job picking the true 1st Team

Didn’t Watford’s kid play like 5 or 6 years ago? That seems like a pretty long time to still be worked up over something. Plus what makes your input more important than the one who put the Stroud kids in? If you wanted to change how things are done shouldn’t you get into coaching to have a valid opinion?

Watford making it was when I quit caring about All State. Making All State is honestly a joke anymore. Watford made it over Keats Calhoon, who is 2nd all-time behind Mason Fine in passing yards and 3rd all-time in TDs behind Fine and Matt Harmon.

Someone that made All State a few years back told me how except for one receiver from a 6A school that really stood out, the rest of the skill position players on the All State team he faced just as tough or tougher in 8 man. The good ole boy system has been around for a while. As for why 8 man players are on there, you have kids on All State from every class. There are two classes of 8 man football. I don't think 2 kids on each side from 8 man is taking away from it.

ok, but that's not the point. They already have their own All-State game. Tell that to the 4 kids that could've made it in their place. I love 8 man, have coached it.....some really good players in 8 man

This is a very valid point. Did your coaches go to the meeting to get on the committee? If not, why not? All the coaches that are on the selection committee are picked by their peers. Are there some misses? Every year. They aren't perfect. But they work their tails off trying to get the best 30 some kids on the team, with several stipulations. Each class gets at least 4. And those 4 are picked from the 27 that make all star by class.

2A didn't even have 27 kids put up by their coaches on the West side. So some that might not even be All Star by Class are now in the running for All State. You can point to a lot of coaches for how this shakes out, but those guys on the committees can only chose from who are put in front of them.

Love is God's grace made actionable. I pray for a complete season for as many of our kids as possible.

While I do agree that the current system is not perfect and it is definitely a “good ‘ole boy” system, no system is ever going to be perfect. There will always be someone that is not happy. 74 kids were chosen, and the vast majority are complaining about 3. I’m right there with everyone else that those 3 probably shouldn’t have made it. Definitely not the LB or WR. But 71/74 is pretty good.
