I didn't know who to put at 19 and 20, I did move Kiowa up to top 8 cause after further review of my notes and based off what okiebb told me, They'll figure in the top 8, Think they return Kye Stone who is overall one of their best players that and seeing that this group has been to state like 2 of the last 3 seasons, They will want to get back there, Lomega still the unanimous #1, I like what Lewellen does out there and they returned everything including probably the most dynamic duo in Emma Duffy and Ady Wilson, Whitesboro and Varnum at 2 and 3, As far as I know they both return most everything, McCurtain, Pittsburg and Duke will be three to watch

HunterSheppard for the most part I like you rankings. I'd put Varnum at 2, Leedey at 5, Paden at 10, then Earlsboro at 19. I like the hire they made and I think they returned a lot from last years team.

justanotherfan17 I wasn't sure what Earlsboro would look like under a new coach or what they return, I like Varnum as a #2 but I don't know what Morgan Kinsey will look like coming off that awful injury in the finals last year, Paden lost their best player but they play Varnum regular season so that could be an interesting matchup, Leedey is top 8 either way, I did bump Kiowa to #6 cause okiebb and bigdog23 did say they'll figure in the top 8 with that group, Well and they have Kye Stone, McCurtain should be top 8 but I don't know what they're defense will look like this year that and they did lose their allstate post, I'll have a chance to watch them when they play my Lady Panthers but not until January unless I can make it to a game beforehand, I know I'm trying to go watch that Kiowa-Crowder game on the 10th

HunterSheppard kinsey looked good in softball started in center and ran just fine she even hit a home run against my school. As far as Paden they did lose a good one but in my opinion she wasn't their best. They have 2 big posts that will be tough to stop as long as their guards take care of the ball they will be good.

justanotherfan17 I'll admit Kinsey is probably one of the best players in that conference, Definite all stater maybe, When Paden and Varnum play regular season that will be one to watch, My top 3 has been the same teams all preseason

Hunter your top 20 is pretty good. I think Pitt will b better than mcurtain and leflore might b better than some of them teams and u left them off. Leflore returns 3 starters and have a good post and guard that came off the bench last year that will step n and start. Leflore will b close to what they was last year. Maby better. They want have the depth but they will put a good 5 on the floor.

bigdog23 Russell Barron We'll see on Leflore, Their schedule is a little debatable but the County Tournament will be their ultimate test, You guys finally sold me on Kiowa after I looked my notes again and talked to one of my sources down there, They have to figure in the top 8 especially when you have a player that good in Kye Stone who is probably a top 5 player in the state, McCurtain will be good but sometimes they don't play defense in clutch moments I was told that was how Paden beat them in regionals last year, I think McCurtain is well coached and have the talent but they're gonna have to prove themselves if they wanna get ranked in the top 8, Just like last year they was at #10 a better half of the season and they got to #8 by the final polls, As for my top 3 that's a lock, Varnum is #2 seeing that they reloaded but I also think your Lady Bulldogs could possibly challenge for that #2 spot as well
I mean I think Whitesboro is a really good team and can really shoot it at times. The problem is they rely a little heavy on the three and losing a post girl doesn’t help that problem. Also having 3 different coaches out of 4 years doesn’t help them either.

ross212 You make a good point, I don't know why they've had 3 out 4 coaches, I was surprised Blakenship left but I heard administration had something to do with that, One of my guys around that area believes Red Oak could get into the top 8 with that post coming back to the Lady Eagles which I could see that cause I know she's good all around

As for the Lady Bulldogs, I still believe they can contend for state, Their backcourt of Kinley Barron and Hannah Abeyta is solid, I know that whole group plays well together

ross212 Cyril will be top 5, They returned all but a couple from a team last year that gave Canute all they wanted in regionals, Kiowa will very well be a contender with that post and PG, I actually like Kiowa more than Leflore, Personally Kye Stone in my opinion is better than the post from Leflore, I don't quite think Webbers Falls is a top ten team but then again I can't count them out especially since Jerry Ward is a good coach and they return Samantha Shanks, I will have a chance to watch Webbers Falls as my Lady Panthers play them every year, I think Red Oak may start around #10 or #11 but could be top 8 by playoffs depending on how it looks
I saw Cyril play last year and was not real impressed but that was one game also. They were my 11th team. The girl at Webbers Falls can go! Leflore brings back their best guard and post. I do remember them being State Semis last year as well.
