With two more weeks of Rankings left what teams have a chance to move up or get dropped before final rankings? Lot of teams still have tournaments to play. Okarche gets another shot at Hennessy. Vanoss and Allen play again. Big game for both. A win might put Allen in the top 8 and a loss might move Vanoss out of the top 4. What other schools have games that could effect the rankings?

#5 Okay
4A #19 Inola (if they win probably play 4A #11 Stillwell)
A #17 Gore (Friday night) should tell us if Gore is a top 20 or not. I would say if Gore plays them within 15, they deserve to be in top 20.

#8 Riverfield
A NR Liberty (Friday night). This will be a competitive game (also Riverfield's first home game of the year due to gym renovation)
3A #12 Cascia Hall (2nd meeting: Cascia won the first matchup @ Cascia)
Liberty again (looks like they should probably meet in the Caney Valley Tournament Finals on Jan 21st as well
3A #11 Keys Parkhill (2nd meeting: Riverfield won the first matchup @ Keys)
B #6 Kinta

Okay I get what you're saying, but what about a team like Gore? Ripley also beat Wellston who is probably a top 20 team if they can stay healthy. Best player missed some games recently.

I think Gore is talented and have one of the most athletic kids in class A. I do think they are top 20 caliber on talent alone, as for making a deep run and contend for a state ticket, I think it is a very difficult year in Class A to do so.

Gore has a history of pushing Okay and when you bully Okay, it can cause problems (especially when you have athletic small forwards & guards that crash the boards, which Gore can do). if Okay blows Gore out, I would be confident in saying Gore will be an Area Thursday out, type of team?

They are also still getting into basketball shape so their best basketball should be ahead of them. (i.e. Laverne, Seiling, etc...)

Anyone at the Caddo/Rockcreek game tonight? Interesting score in that one. 44-42 final. Caddo missing kids tonight?

I was there. Caddo led by 16 with about 4 minutes left and pulled starters. Rock Creek made a push to get within 8, starters went back in, and RC played the foul game. RC got an offensive rebound and put back with 7 seconds left. Caddo inbounded and RC couldn't get the last foul. It was a sloppy game from both sides, and Dill looked to get a little banged up on a fall in the third.

Thanks for the info. People complain about teams running it up but to me as a rule of thumb I’m not pulling my starters until the other teams pulls theirs.
