Carl Albert still the team to beat. Not going to rehash what has already been said on the early rankings thread. Thought I would mention some McAlester players not named McCarty that will be interesting to watch this season.

Nose Guard -- Garret Shumway
Linebacker-- Chase Faber
Running back --Dakota Moton -- would start for most teams
Malachi Wrice -- large athletic sophmore, coach is thinking he will be an elite lineman when all said and done

Carl Albert is the consensus #1 until someone steps up and proves otherwise, Which one is McCarty again?

answer to your Q quoting from article on prepredzone.com:

Running back Erik McCarty
was one of just two sophomores to earn First Team All State honors from us last season after his breakout year. McCarty was one of the best running backs in the state and was a big reason the Buffaloes made a run to the semifinals. McCarty finished with nearly 2,000 yards and north of 30 touchdowns. He also had nearly 100 tackles on defense. McCarty might have surprised a few opponents in 2020 but all eyes will be on him this fall. We can’t wait to see what he does for an encore as a junior this season.

Top 3

1. CA - are the favorites until someone beats them (but they have a new HC)
2. BMHS - offense and special team looked great in the State game again CA. One yard short of going into halftime with the lead. (They have a monkey on their back, should be a killer season for the Irish).
3. McAlester - should have been in the State Championship game last year. They looked dominant over Bishop McGuinness in the semifinals, but they stop giving the ball to the RB. (Buffaloes know they belong in the top tier of 5A).

Next 3
El Reno - Had the Buffaloes downs 28-7. El reno is a good team, Got to learn how to finish the game.
Bishop Kelley -
Collinsville

Regardless of new coach at CA, The culture and tradition is still there, Who do you think has a better chance at them, McAlester or Bishop McGuiness?

You hand pick the best kids to come and play and they have to pay to attend school. Half of our guys are lucky if a parent makes it to a game.

Once in the quarter and once in the semi.
