Preseason Top 20 (Class A Girls)

ONe team you are leaving out of probably the top 10 is Calumet. They return everyone I believe off of a top 3 team from last year. They will be another team that will fit into the top 8.

Ok so I made some modifications

Both teams barely lost anything though, Though I would say Calumet likely has the better roster, They was probably one of the only Class A teams last year that competed with Hydro in the regular season

Caddo could possibly in that conversation, A few different coaches also believe Caddo could be top 5, They're young yes but even as a 2A team last year they made it to state

You’re probably right, I don’t anything about Caddo girls, but I do know a little about both Velma and Crowder and I think Calumet is just as good as either one of them.

ross212 I don't really know anything on Caddo either honestly, What I do know came from a few people down south that seen them over the summer, Velma-Alma was probably the surprise team of the playoffs last year, They was probably the youngest top 10 team last year

Don't sleep on them, They may surprise you down the road come playoff time, That big 3 of theirs can ball, They play Kiowa on the 10th that will be the first of many regular season matchups to watch closely, One interesting matchup in that game will be two posts that can shoot from anywhere

I wouldn't say Pitt 8 is weak. 4 of the 8 teams were ranked last year. Quick math, 50% of your conference games are against ranked opponents. I'd say that's solid.Every year since Ive lived in SE oklahoma between Kiowa, Savannah, Crowder, Pittsburg and Canadian has had some good years too.Anyway one of those teams make a state appearance EVERY YEAR.I mean as far back as I can remember.
CrowderVsPittsburg last year in the Pitt 8. The head coach along with several other players had the flu. I remember Coach Rush with a mask on trying to call plays (preCovid) It was one of the worst games I've ever seen Crowder play. However a few weeks later Crowder beat Pittsburg by 17.

So anyway. Crap happens. I am a Crowder fan obviously and have watched this group for many years. Are they Top 3, idk? Here's what's different. They have Senior leadership this season. They actually have a bench this year also. With athletic freshmen who will make an impact. Bring back their 3 leading scorers.
Also I watched them scrimmage Preston/ Talihina the other day. And Ill just say this...the Sockey kid is on another level this year.

They got McCurtain and Kiowa scheduled right off the bat this season. We will know alot more after that.

I wish Crowder and all the teams good luck this year. The Pitt 8 is not strong. I played in the Pitt 8 about 10 years ago so I have a decent knowledge of it. Which teams have made it to state other than Kiowa the last 5 years on the girls side? Savanna ,Canadian , Indianola , Haileyville haven’t had a winning record in awhile that I can remember. Please correct me if that isn’t accurate I’ve been gone for a bit.
