Does anyone outside of the top 8 have a legit shot of making it to state?
Area 1 Hooker AmPo Sleepers Merritt, Watonga, Riverside
Area 2 Pocola Fairland Sleepers OK Union, Warner, Preston
Area 3 Howe Pick one: Silo, Hartshorne, Oktaha
Area 4 Dale Latta Sleepers Hobart, Okemah, Walters
I would be willing to bet Warner will make it. Easiest area by far. We all know Preston has connections and was able to set up the perfect area to give themselves a chance. Them or Warner is who I would bet on. The rest of the Areas I think are pretty set and would be hard to get out of. I think about 6 of these teams outside the top 8 could have made it through on that side.

I doubt coaches petitioned even though me and pepperbrown and bigdog23 Russell Barron would have this back and forth discussion during softball

Still some big games this week and next for some teams right before playoffs start. I know they don't really mean anything for rankings, just pride and wanting to play well and win but some of them are rival games or future playoff pairings. Which makes them even more interesting.

I know all the years looking at playoff assignments, there are always a few head-scratchers. Why did they send Colbert all the way to Dale for Districts and Dibble to Latta? With similar records, seems Latta/Colbert and Dibble/Dale would have made more sense, especially since there are all in same area.
Still not as bad as the Wewoka/Allen/Vanoss Districts a few years back when all 3 boys teams were legit Area teams.

I thought the exact same thing myself, but who knows... Dale and Latta play each other more than any other rivals in the state I swear. If the bracket plays out how I think they will have played 4 times this year.
