Week 5 picks

As bad as I hate to say it, I think Pryor will whack Glenpool by at least 14 points. Glenpool is not very good. Had it not been for Claremore's coaches absolutely giving the game away with 20 seconds left, they would have lost to Claremore.  

What makes you pick Coweta by 50+? Both Rogers and Coweta are averaging 42 ppg and Rogers' defense gave up 6 points to East Central who was picked to win last week by you and almost all the Tulsa World pickers

I think it will be a much more exciting game than people are thinking! The Rogers QB has accounted for over 1,400 yards of total offense in 4 games according to the Tulsa World. I don't care what kind of defense you run or scheme up against that, he will be hard to stop! I'm predicting Rogers to finish at 3rd or 4th in their district by upsetting BK and or Shawnee. Coweta and McAlester are probably too much to handle for a TPS team not named Booker T.

I think they're heading in the right direction. I really enjoyed watching some of Rafe's teams back when he had it rolling there

Rafe stopped a couple of very good McAlester teams during that run. Have you noticed Warner is 3-1 and only loss is less than a TD to a ranked team. Regarding your remarks regarding BK. Three differences from first three games, 7 turnovers first 3 games none in game 4, per coach Mazey they tackled much better than in their previous outings, and their big 6'2" 220 pound tailback returned from knee injury, once he gets in game shape he gonna be hard to stop.

Pryor over Glenpool big

Man it was bad. I watched 1st half then turned it off. Interceptions, returns, 1 play scores. It was bad. As bad as any of those bad Tulsa or OKC public schools going against any half decent team. You feel bad for the kids all most. It’s almost like there needs to always be a district to play in for all the teams just trying to build a program or something. Like western heights this year they have had about 15-18 players out total suites up to play. Haven’t scored a point, and school was taken over by the state education department last season.

I understand what your saying, but those 4a schools would fare much better in 5a than the TPS do. For example the current football ADM has Elgin, John Marshall, Skiatook, Ada, and Grove as the largest 4a schools. Skiatook is down now but played in a 5a title game less than 10 years ago and Ada made the playoffs in the previous 2 years they were in 5A-3. John Marshall won a 3a title in 2017. Grove has spent enough time in 5a they would continue to be competitive. Elgin would have the hardest time. With a few exceptions at the top, there isnt a ton of difference across the board from 5a to 4a.
And the worst part is this Rogers team we're talking about is most likely the best TPS this year, as they won their side of the All City Preview back in August. (BT Washington doesnt count)

Im not sure how feasible it is, but i wonder if Tulsa has ever considered consolidation of a few teams for football only? There would be a big difference if they could go from 25 kids to 50 kids on a roster.
That would also free up some of these district schedules so we could bump a few schools up into 5a and have more competitive district games.

They didnt cut it. They started fall practice with around 14 kids and supposedly they quit in bunches within the first week.
They chose not to field a team due to numbers.
