Dale is relevant because they are Dale. Tons of state appearances in both baseball and basketball. I thought they did pretty well last year, decade, century. As long as I've following HS sports Dale had been in the conversation as one of the best in their class. I'm not from Dale.
Daleyeah when your program history comes atleast CLOSE to Wewokas I'll take you a lot more serious lol. Congratulations on being the big dog in some of 2As worst years ever. Took that for y'all finally to win one. Congratulations Buffalo I mean Dale. Now for serious discussion. Pcf man it's bad. Really bad lol. Good young coach (Tre Roberts from the championship years) but he has very little to work with. Last I heard only 8 players are on the team and like half are small freshman. Pretty much every tournament the 3rd thru 8th grade are in they win it( boys and girls) so it's coming it's just going to be a bit. Tres younger brother in 7th grade might end up being the best of the family. I guess I'll have to become a Latta fan for a while lol.

That is tough, but, sounds like future looks bright. Does not help that Wewoka plays a tough schedule, too.
Savanna will be top-20 by January, guaranteed. They host Caddo on Friday, and then host a tourney with Caddo and Kinta next week. Opportunity for 3 big wins in the next two weeks.

I love the optimism! and guaranteed, nice!
I'll tell you what, if they beat Caddo &/or Kinta next week, I would agree with you that Savanna would then be good enough to be in the top 20 in 2A. I think Savanna will have to beat Liberty before the opportunity to play Caddo if I recall correctly? Liberty isn't bad either!
Nice win over Stuart! Best of luck with your predictions!
Tulsa Memorial vs Roff 1:30 p.m. Bartlesville vs Kingfisher 5:30 p.m. Edmond North vs Crossings 10:30 a.m. Dale vs Union 8:30 p.m.
Dale will have every chance to beat Union in a few weeks. Union is beatable, they have a big 6'10 guy, but he isn't anything Dale will have to worry about too much. guard play will be equal to better than Union. I predict Dale by 10.
Edmond North & Crossings will be a TOUGH one. Both very nice squads. Edmond North is the better team (imo). Edmond North by 15
Bartlesville vs Kingfisher: will be close too, Bartlesville has Castillo and he can GO. (had 36 vs Bixby Tuesday evening). I am not sure on this one? Kingfisher pedigree wants me to take them with the upset? I just don't know what they have back? Guessing on B'Ville in a close one? WINNER OF THIS GAME WILL BE IN THE FINALS. Bartlesville by 3
T Memorial vs Roff: This is not the Memorial of last year, they are good, not elite. I think Roff will give them everything they want. I Think Memorial wins in a game by less than 10 pts.
RANKING ALL 8 IN ORDER? Edmond North 1, Crossings Christian 2, Dale 3, Bartlesville 4, Kingfisher 5, Memorial 6, Union 7, Roff 8.

Come on Class. You want to throw the Buffalo joke around, but can't take a blue blood joke? If Wewoka would've won that gold ball last year we'd be hearing about it and how it adds to their "blue blood" status. Have some fun and take what you put out. I'm curious about 2A schools with the most 2A gold balls now.

[insert eye roll] I’m sorry…Wewoka has great history. I’ll agree with you there but they are absolutely terrible. They were terrible last year. I do love it when other teams have success and if Wewoka is trash…”2A is down” to be fair, you might say 2A is down if Wewoka was decent because that seems to be what you’ve been saying since 2017.
here’s a thing you might consider…Wewoka might not ever recover and return to their glory years. Then what? I guess you’ll have your history. Now I know you’re going to make some comment about Hooker because that’s your go to……but things are looking bad in Wewoka and it’s not going to get better.
I think Tonkawa could get in the top 20. They have a key win over Perry and a close win over Newkirk and just got a win over Cashion. But tough loses to Woodland and Okarche.
Cute post. Good thing I trust the opinions of other 2a coaches/friends over a guy here on coaches aid lol. It's no secret 2a has been down for a while now and it seems as though this year will be no different. Is it lack of star power(other than the Dale kid)? Is it coaching? Is it due to the amount of kids transferring? Who knows. As for Wewoka yes they are absolutely terrible right now but history and common sense says that won't last very long. Throughout the decades Wewoka has been strong. Silver balls in the 70s, championship in the 80s, championships in the 90s, multiple State tournament appearances and 2 silver balls from 2000-2010 and of course the recent back to back gold balls just a few years ago. Plus unlike yourself I see the talent at Wewoka that's coming and it's scary. I guess we will see.
