Besides those 2 you mentioned I would say Vanoss, Snyder, Wright City, Stuart, Regent ? and Dewar have a chance to be really good and have a chance to make the Big House. Not saying there aren't others, but those are the ones I feel I know a little about.
Snyder lost quite a few players and I don't know what they'll look like under the new HC, Someone in the Class B boards was saying Wright City would be down but I don't know, Vanoss and Regent have the highest chance out of that bunch to make it to State, I don't know about Dewar they have kinda underachieved the last few years, I don't think a Dewar boys team has made it to State in a long time but they do have a coach that got to State when he was at Weleetka and I know for a fact that Ross kid that came from Beggs was good PG and I'm pretty sure they bring one of the posts back, Stuart I know nothing on on

knightswatch I do think maybe this is the year Dewar can get a deep run going, Shattuck, Laverne and Davenport have been three teams in same boat Dewar is in now, Good team but late start due to football. Vanoss might actually be a top 5 this year, #10 is one of their best scorers, He had a few 25+ point games this year, Stuart might be a wait and see team for me cause I haven't heard much on them until now, Wright City could be plenty tested with that tough schedule they play, Talihina is kinda the unknown team I have been looking at lately, 10-15 last year but still hung with #2 Hydro in Regionals and was told most of the roster returns

In the NW part of the state in class A, Texhoma will still be solid, but losing Mitchell hurts them bad. They are well coached, have some good athletic small quick young guards that play really hard and are pretty skilled and a really good big kid inside, 6'2-6'3, strong and finishes well. They were #19 and went to the state tournament, and they are a this year that could be a 18-22 ranked type team.
Laverne will be really good, Laverne pushed Texhoma to the brink in a District Championship game, but lost one of their important bigs against Texhoma and didn't have him in the regional tournament. Laverne should be in the top 15 IMO.
Shattuck lost 2 really good athletes in Long and Frazier but still has some good pieces in their PG Elam and Latta. They always play hard. They nearly knocked Texhoma out in the 2nd rd of Regionals, and took it Mitchell making a buzzer beater in OT to knock them off. They will be capable of beating some good teams.
Mooreland got to the Saturday of Regionals and lost to Texhoma after losing to Arapaho in the winner's bracket but played them tough until about 5 minutes left in that game. They have a skilled young big kid that's 6'7, and have some good size around him. They should be a top 15-20 type team.
Seiling is really young, losing their core guys that have played for them in what seems like forever, but those young kids are really talented. They will be scary in February.
Pioneer will be good, they have a good young kid that can really score the ball. They are for sure a top 20 type team after going to the area tournament and knocking off Seiling in the first round of area.
Arapaho is Arapaho, they know how to win and have some good pieces returning. They will still be a state tournament contender, and nobody will want to play them in late February or March.
Garber is a top 5 team. They could very well play a rematch game in the finals vs Hydro.
Vici is a sleeper team that nobody will talk about because of being ranked all season last year and losing early. They aren't big but they are very quick, and have a great point guard in Hazelbaker. They may not be a team to be ranked but they will surprise people.
Thomas lost a great class, but they have some young athletes coming up. They may be down a little this year but they will be solid in years to come.

Shattuck is good but they always get snubbed in rankings cause of late football start every year, A lot will say Vici was overranked last year but maybe they prove me wrong this year, Do you see Texhoma getting back to State?
Hydro is a ways ahead of everyone. I think Cyril is a sleeper team that could make it to Saturday to play Hydro, saw them play this summer they are pretty talented. Vanoss returns a lot should be top 3 or 4. Garber is going to be good but they are going to miss Bennett a lot. Velma will stay pretty talented but dont see them as much of a threat to win it.

Garber has a good freshman group that I heard was really good, Cyril I think could make some noise as well, Hydro is the top pick but there's about 2 maybe 3 teams that will also contest for the gold ball

Hunter I don’t see Texhoma getting back, but I could see them back in the area tournament of things fall right. I would go with Arapaho and Garber if they got sent up this way, with Laverne, Mooreland, Texhoma, and Pioneer being dark horse teams to challenge them.

Canute will be a top 10 team again this year. Graduated two but get 6’3 kid that had to sit out last year and got a freshman move in that’s pretty good as well. I personally think they will be better than Arapaho. And they were in game to go to State last year against Ft. Cobb.

I wasn't real sold on Arapaho last year, They didn't have a lot size and I remember while they took Velma-Alma into triple OT they did struggle in certain areas

Hydro is the clear favorite in the class but not unbeatable. Garber and Vanoss should be top teams as well. Quite a few teams lost good senior classes. After those three teams that are listed, I think it could be a toss-up based on how last year ended.
