Who all do we think is going to be favorited to win it all next year?

MWC/Del City adding to the mix gives even more competition in a solid class as is. I personally tho if he Del City would have a legit shot to win it all next year in 5A based off the strength of their Dline. But the Stone kid is transferring out, heading to IMG Academy, so that’s a huge loss to what I thought was their biggest strength. Any thoughts on some way too early 5A teams to watch out for?

I think McAlester will be the favorite and I think they will have a chip on their shoulder from this year

Not funny

No, for anyone that has coached in this state, it is pretty funny.

I was thinking more that Claremore would capture the gold ball over Western Heights 6-3. Claremore will score the winning touchdown on a scoop and score after Western Heights fumbles a snap while attempting a final kneel down.

I'm not sure that will make any difference for them, You look at Western Heights this year and they not only went 0-10 but got shutout every game and forfeited two games

Claremore is gonna a legit playoff contender in that new district, though. Collinsville loses a ton, Pryor is the 8 win team every year that everyone and their dog in 5A wants to draw in playoffs, and who knows how hot the recruiting trail has been for BK.

Unless they get some move in's, I highly doubt they do anything. I've seen just about every Claremore game for the last several years and frankly, they are not any good. I hate it as I wish they were better. It also doesn't help when your philosophy is to be a power running team and simply not have the offensive line talent or personnel to do that.

Maybe they could switch to the spread?

Flex pistol is another option if you want to stay in a balanced attack with run formations (Lot of bootleg and vertical pass formations in this one)

Kinda sad. Far from the McCleskey brothers days. Can't remember how many there were. Seems like we had to deal with one for nearly 10 years. I sure remember Richard and DeMarco.

They've had kids come through there over the years. It just seems the coaches are not willing to adapt to the talent they have. It seems as they would rather try and force their philosophy on them and make them do things they do not have the talent to do. I hate it because they are all really good people. They've also had their fair share of kids leave to go to bigger schools or leave because of other reasons. They've also had several difference makers quit football to focus on baseball which Claremore has had much more success in.

I agree they will still be a solid team. Especially dropping down. But losing Stone/Foreman definitely makes their strength a relative unknown situation now. Also on the coaching board there are rumors of either OC/HC interviewing elsewhere. Lord knows how rumors go on here though, so time will tell. I think Madonna is more likely to be the one to leave, if any. That said, DC has kept a pretty routine system of turning their most athletic player from RB to QB each season and keep rolling with power run games. Always be a tough matchup.

District 1: 1st - Midwest City, 2nd - Ardmore, Playoff Hunt - El Reno, Noble
District 2: 1st - Carl Albert, 2nd - McGuinness, Playoff Hunt - Guthrie, Shawnee, Piedmont
District 3: 1st - McAlester, 2nd - Del City, Playoff Hunt - Coweta, Sapulpa
District 4: 1st - Collinsville, 2nd - Bishop Kelley, Playoff Hunt - Pryor, Grove

State Championship: McAlester v. Carl Albert
State Champion: McAlester

Don't know what all of these teams have coming back just going off how they usually are. I do know McAlester has one of the best players in the state returning so thats what drives my pick for champion. I will say this seems to be one of the tougher year for 5A with Midwest City and Del City coming down. Thoughts?
