I was under the impression if u was top 4 in the rankings and put in for a regional you got one. OSSAA playing the buddy system looks like once again.

I seriously want to know how Whitesboro didn't get a Regional, I agree with you, They are playing the buddy system again, It appears the west is heavily sticking together

U can look and see they didn’t try to draw it up for traveling purposes. If they would of used the excuse to draw it up so people didn’t have to travel I would understand. But sending Whitesboro to Roff n leflore to LS isn’t doing that. Battiest drives 100 yards from Whitesboro’s field to get to red oak. Leflore drives right by red oak to go to LS. Bunch a playoff buddy system bull **** once again.

Class 3A is pretty messed up as well, Navajo was #4 and instead they get sent to Hydro-Eakly and gave the Regional to Caddo, I agree with you it is total BS, I hate it when the west tries to screw over the east

What’s bull crap is Whitesboro gets he 4 ranking and travel further than anybody on the top 10. Except leflore. We go 2.5 hours to roff yet it’s like 1:45 from roff to LS.😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If you think they listen to coaches you’re very wrong. If they aren’t going to use rankings might as well go to districts

I’ll say this.the ossaa draws up the playoffs but I know for a fact coaches call and politic to go to certain areas and what not. I’m gonna bout bet $$ that Amy cassel didn’t just look at the teams that made it and say hmmm let’s give Lookeba a regional even though there not too 4. 🤷‍♂️😂😂I call bullshit on that. And I know that fans don’t call them 😂😂so yeah it’s the coaches that do it. And I saw a email she sent our supt and she might as well just say I’ll draw it up the way I want and you will like it or not Idc. Because her explanation dont hold water. I could disapprove every thing shes says just by pulling up the map and showing her. She’s does what she wants and she plays the buddy system. No sense n trying to sugar coat it.

This is what it would of looked like if they went off the rankings and the rankings only. There was a tie at 6/12 so I sent whoever was tied to the closet regional to them. Unless I messed something up this is the way it drew up.
1 Ro 8 leedey 12 pitt ur Tupelo.
2 hammon 6 arnett 12 oilton 20 varnum
3 Roff 6 caney 10 leflore 17 grandfield
4 Whitesboro 5 Lookeba S 9 turner 16 battiest.
Now u tell me other than leedey going to Ro and grandfield to Roff n Ls to whs the travels not that bad. They felt like they needed to give the west another regional so that’s what they did. They didnt have the school or the kids best Inrest at heart. It was political.

Here’s how I drew it up and thought it could work.
1 RO 8 leedey 10 leflore ur Tupelo
2 hammon 6 arnett 12 oilton 17 grandfield
3 Roff 5 Lookeba S 9 turner 20 varnum
4 Whitesboro 6 caney 12 pitt 16 battiest.
Leedey has a long drive but the rest don’t. Least amount for f travel for everyone. Now u got 2 schools in the top 10 driving 2.5 to 3 hours to go west 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Someone mentioned they had a thought in the final rankings they would give it to Lookeba cause 3 east teams were ranked, Yet you didn't see them do this in 2A and 4A, I don't even know what the situation in 3A is with #1 Morrison which they gave that Regional to #8 Ripley and then they send #4 Navajo to #3 Hydro-Eakly, Where as in 5A they gave #5 Cushing a Regional but sent #3 Heavener to #2 Tecumseh

Oh big dog I’m not saying coaches don’t call and politic it’s just certain people she listens too. Most get emails or responses like your said your Supt got from her. She does what she wants and what benefits those in her circle. I’ll say it again I know it’s tough to do in smaller classes but districts are the answer it takes the power away from OSSAA
